When does Rainbow Resources usually raise their prices?

[Jenny in Florida]

As I recall, Rainbow usually publishes a new catalogue sometime in the spring or summer, at which point they make whatever adjustments in prices they are planning for the coming academic year. I have my wish list for next year all set, but I'd like to delay actually placing the order for a bit. I do, however, want to order before the prices go up for next year.

My husband would like to have some idea of when I will need to place the order so that he can figure that into our budget for the next few months.

Can anyone help me remember when the new catalogue usually happens?

Thanks!

I just placed my order this weekend but mainly for shipping purposes. However, my gf mentioned she always orders in March to get the prices before the price increase. Also, the news said UPS was raising prices in May so that will surely affect shipping. HTH!

I've always received mine in June, and that's when they raise their prices.

Yes. That's what I remember. New catalogs in June.

June would definitely give us some breathing room.

This has been their pattern for years. It is when the new catalogue comes out. Usually they will post a cut-off date for the old prices on their website.
