Just a heads up – this is from one of my glove suppliers:
Good Morning Janet-
As you are aware, the Disposable Gloves category has experienced volatile market conditions due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19). This has impacted the overall supply and created a sudden surge in global demand for all types of gloves including Latex, Nitrile, and Vinyl Gloves.
As a result of the rising costs and tighter supply in the marketplace, we are compelled to announce a price increase of up to 15% on all Glove Products. This increase will be effective with orders placed on and after June 1st, 2020. We will continue to monitor the situation and communicate further market dynamics related to price increases and supply. Please note that we will process regular order quantities based on the allocation amounts we have already set for you.
