Why Your Solar Light Prices Keep Changing After Order Confirmation

You agreed on $12.50 per unit. Two weeks later: “Material costs increased, new price $13.75.” Another week: “Shipping costs up, now $14.25.” This game destroys budgets.

The Price Increase Game:

Material Cost Excuses:

Real issue: Didn’t lock in material prices before quoting

Common excuse: “Lithium prices increased suddenly”

Reality: Quoted without checking current market prices

Exchange Rate Excuses:

Real issue: Quoted at favorable rate hoping it would improve

Common excuse: “USD to RMB changed”

Reality: Using exchange rates to increase margins

Specification “Misunderstandings”:

Real issue: Deliberately underquoted to win business

Common excuse: “We misunderstood your requirements”

Reality: Bait pricing strategy
