[QUOTE="dudders, post: 7170444, member: 19026"] The secret's buried in the contract terms. When you sign up to the deal, the small print tells you that if the company's costs increase, they can increase their charges. So the 'fixed price' that you're on is actually an illusion. Waste of time, really. The industry gives this an important-sounding name: 'pass-through' costs. So if your supplier has a supplier and that supplier raises his prices, your supplier 'passes through' that cost to you. It's doublespeak for 'we'll jack up our charges whenever we feel like it'. That said, Opus is the only company that's done it to me within the period of a contract. And they dropped it when I kicked up. [/QUOTE]
