Why the sudden price increase? This product was $27+ when I ordered it as late as 30 days ago. Suddenly it's nearly $40?

Good Morning, My name is Mayra Flores, an employee at Rogers Family Coffee Company, the manufacturer for these San Francisco Bay products. In response to your inquiry, the current issue is caused because this product that is sold by and shipped by Amazon is out of stock. Our San Francisco Bay Fog Chaser 80ct is not being offered for Prime shipping by Amazon at the moment because Amazon is out of stock on this product and the system defaults to a third party seller and higher price. Therefore while Amazon is out of stock, the only way to buy this product on Amazon is through a third party reseller and this why Amazon customers come across the issue of higher prices. For future reference when buying our products through Amazon, be careful that it is not through a third party seller. You can look for the tag that says "sold and shipped by Amazon". A third party seller will have a different sold by name and the price will probably be higher. I would advise that you check back on Amazon in a day or two to see if this product is back in stock. If you have any issues or questions on the price that is being sold on Amazon by these third party resellers, please contact Amazon customer service. If you have any more questions and/or concerns regarding our products please contact me at mflores@rogersfamilyco.com and reference your original amazon question so that I can further better assist you. Thank You and have a great day.

I'm with you. I was waiting for pay day and 2 days before the price went up. I'm hoping it goes down in the next few days/weeks. Amazon does have a 30 day price guarantee where if the price goes down after you've ordered you can contact them and they'll refund you.

I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing. I thought the price change would be temporary, and that the cost would come back down at some point, but it seems the increase is here to stay. The seller's "slight price increase" is actually about 35%, so I'm not sure which definition of "slight" they are using. Anyway, I shopped around the net, and found a better deal (I just purchased 16 4-packs for just under $68.00 with free shipping). At the current Amazon price, you could just go to Wally World and purchase them individually for less. I have been a regular purchaser of this item on Amazon, and noticed the same thing.

I'm waiting for the Amazon price to go down again (The price went up 60%), I was wondering if they are a new batch of the item, but still doesn't make sense. I don't like dealing with their marketplace sellers, Amazon stands behind the product they sell.

You're right, the price fluctuates frequently and randomly. I snagged it about 4-6 weeks ago for $550 free shipping (although not 2-day) and of course, no tax. But there seems to no reason or pattern to their price of the unit. I recommend patience to save a couple hundred dollars -- if you can wait it out.

I agree. This price increase is ridiculous. The front desk at my vet told me the company was bought out. They actually stopped delivering them to market until they could update the packaging. I wonder if the price increase is due to short supply. Whatever the reason, I can't afford double the price.

Prices fluctuate. If you shop on Amazon long enough, you'll find that prices for certain item categories (like physical books) are more stable than others (like personal electronics). It almost certainly wasn't a straight shoot from $17 to $28. The price probably rose and dropped, rose and dropped, before eventually reaching $28.00. And it's possible that the $17 price listing was from another vendor than the $28 price listing. $17 sounds awful low for this product. I'm guessing the $17 price was from a third party--not shipped and sold directly by Amazon. Marketplace sellers will sometimes lower the item price to draw customers in, only to raise the shipping and handling to more than compensate for the subtotal deduction. Keep an eye on the price--check it every day. In my experience, if the price reached $17 once, it probably will again. But it might take a few more months to get there.

Our prices fluctuate rapidly (up and down) in reaction to market conditions and our price is currently $175.99. We have no knowledge of ever offering a price of $156.79 although we did previously offer a lower price than the current price. Do you have an order number? Perhaps your order was in your cart for several days and prices increased in the interim or you are getting us confused with another seller. Please advise, thank you.

Good question! the price is now 60$ not sure what is going on here. someone care to tell us why the price on this item keeps going up, I paid 25$ for it and that was too much.

The last price before the "spike" to $450 was $215, which is the price I paid for it. I never saw it for $150 though, THAT would really have been an amazing deal. I think you just have to wait for the price to drop - nothing to do about it but wait (I waited for 2 months before buying it, because the price was too high, even at 260). All the best

I feel for you. While it doesn't have to do with fitness products, I too experienced the price hike. Was looking for a decent laptop recently, finally found the one that sang my name. Had it in my wish list for a few days to mull it over, when I finally was ready to buy, the price jumped by $150. Ouch. Listed price wasn't a sale or anything either, so that was the real sad part. I guess January has become gouge month or something.

You are right, the prices have gotten outrageous!! I bought this product in March 2014 for $30 and some change via amazon prime. I came back to buy some more, but not at these prices.

I have been following this item and pricing too. I was wondering what caused the price to just double. It must be an error.
