Soxx Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I have just got this email from a mate. From: Cycletour bookings [mailto:cycletourbookings@elliottmobility.com]Sent: Thursday, January 30, 2014 11:32 AMTo: CycletourSubject: Price Increase Notification (Cycle Tour Bike Transportation 2014) Dear Elliott Mobility customer Please ignore this Price Increase Notification if you have already booked your bike transportation with Elliott Mobility to the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour in 2014. IF YOU HAVE NOT BOOKED YOUR BIKE TRANSPORTATION AND STILL PLAN TO DO SO, PLEASE TAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING: Due to growing demand for our bike transportation service every year together with limited capacity and restrictions on parking space in Cape Town, Elliott Mobility is forced to increase the cost of our bike transportation service from all locations from Monday, February 10, 2014. Current rates: Single bikes @ R1 090.00 and Tandems bikes @ R1 690.00 New rates from Monday, February 10, 2014: Single bikes @ R1 500.00 and Tandem bikes @ R2 300.00 We are not discounting the possibility of further price increases closer to the event and we encourage you to please book your bike transportation without delay (www.elliottmobility.com/argus/) in order to take advantage of our current rates. Our online booking site will close without prior notice once full capacity is reached. For any queries, please contact us on 011-256-3000 or cycletour@elliottmobility.com We look forward to being of service to you again in 2014. Warm regards, Now I know that they are in it to make money and they operate a business, and, and ... but what irks me more than anything is that their main reason is "Due to growing demand for our bike transportation service". They can justify a 38% increase due to the demand - WTF! In my opinion this relates to pure greed and hope next year their "demand" diminishes!
