Wanted to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day weekend!  Whether you are going on vacation or hanging out with the family, hope everyone has a nice relaxing and safe weekend.  We will of course be closed Monday for Memorial Day, but will be open Tuesday at 7am.  And to all of the South Florida basketball fans out there, how about the Heat?  What a great comeback to beat Chicago last night!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Delta has announced an interim list price increase, effective 05/15.  You can download the new price increase in our downloads section. UPDATE: Brizo pricing went up also.  The downloads section now has the new Brizo pricing also.

Toto has revised the Toto Washlet & Neorest programs & pricing, effective 05-01-11: 

On TOTO WASHLETS, the LIST Pricing has increased (back to the 2010 list prices on most items). 

On TOTO NEORESTS, the LIST Pricing will remain the same. 

However, the good news is the selling price on BOTH the Toto Washlet & Neorests will once again be able to be computed by multiplier!  This is a terrific change by Toto as special net sheets will no longer be required to determine pricing! (Thanks Toto!)

The new Washlet List prices are now available in the DOWNLOADS section.  For pricing information, please be sure to contact your NEXT sales rep, or check your pricing on NEXT ONLINE. 

American Standard will have a price increase on April 1st.  The new list price file can be found in our downloads section. 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Japan which was hit with a devastating tsunami.  We had the pleasure of visiting Japan a few years ago, as we were given an inside look at Toto's operations.  We can only hope for the safety of everyone in Japan, especially all of our friends at Toto and their families.

It is nice at this time of year to be able to talk about a price DECREASE!  With their new 2011 pricing, Blanco has implemented a list price DECREASE on some of their most popular selling Stainless Steel products, including ARCON, PRECISION, PERFORMA, SUPREME, and WAVE.  Blanco now has a full range of products to meet every price range and style.  If you haven't considered Blanco before, now is a great time!  Next keeps a large inventory in-stock.  A quick cheat sheet on the Blanco price decreases is in our downloads section, as well as the latest pricing file.  Or call you Next sales rep today for the newest Blanco 2011 catalog.

While the official Toto price increase is not expected until March 1st, Toto has made an immediate change to the pricing on their Neorest & Washlet products.  Effective immediately (Feb 1, 2011), these items will now be sold at special net pricing.  These nets no longer correlate to a multiplier.  While the 2011 List prices of Neorests will actually remain the same, there will be an actual net price increase to all Neorests.  Additionally, the 2011 List prices of Washlets will actually decrease significantly, but there will be an actual net price increase to all Washlets.  There is unfortunately nothing we can do about this, this is the way Toto has decided to go to market.  As one of our valued customers, we urge you to please check with us on your new net pricing prior to quoting customers.  Also, please be careful quoting customers off list (especially on Washlets), as the list price is decreasing while your net cost is increasing, and there is no longer any correlation between the list and your net cost.  Update: The new Toto Washlet List prices, as well as the new 2011 Toto Pricing File are now posted in our downloads section.

Blanco has a new pricing file, effective 02.01.11 available in our downloads section.  There are some new products listed, as well as some discontinued products.  Additionally, Blanco has a price decrease on several higher-end models...

Toto will have a new price list, effective March 1st, 2011.  We don't yet know the extent of the price changes, we just know they are coming!
As soon as we get the new price list, we will post it in our downloads section.

Hope everyone has a Happy & Healthy New Year!  As a reminder, Grohe & KWC pricing has gone up as of 1/1/11 (new price lists posted in the downloads section).  We are expecting a Toto increase on February 1st, but nothing has been officially announced yet.
