Pricing and Freight Update
We’re providing advance notice of an update to pricing and freight terms, effective Friday, 1 May 2026.
What’s changing
Input costs have increased materially and remain volatile, particularly across resin, freight, and other manufacturing inputs, alongside ongoing supply chain disruption.
To continue delivering reliable supply, consistent delivery performance, and responsive service, we are implementing adjustments to product pricing and freight terms.
Pricing changes
Updated pricing will apply to all deliveries from 1 May 2026.
| Product group | Price change |
|---|---|
| EUROFLO Pipe (Rural/Civil) | +27% |
| PVC Fittings | +20% |
| PVC Pipe | +22% |
| Other product groups | +20% |
Revised product group updates and price files will be issued through the usual channels.
Freight terms (effective 1 May 2026)
P&F Global operates as a wholesale supplier, with pricing structured around bulk supply, efficient dispatch, and national delivery.
With domestic freight costs continuing to rise, our freight settings need to reflect this model and remain consistent across our customer base.
From 1 May 2026, the following freight terms will apply:
- Free freight: Orders $1,000 (ex GST) and over
- Freight charge: $100 (ex GST) for orders under $1,000
- On-site delivery (where requested): Charged at cost (confirmed at time of delivery)
All Other Existing Arrangements
- All quotes and other pricing arrangements with a validity date beyond 30 April 2026 will be withdrawn
- New quotes will reflect current market pricing and will have shorter validity periods
- Orders are subject to acceptance and product availability.
- Any store by store pricing arrangements are not valid beyond April 1st and will need to be renegotiated.
If you have upcoming requirements or project demand, please contact your Account Manager so we can plan supply with you and ensure continuity.
Thank you
We remain focused on making it easy to do business with P&F Global – delivering fit-for-purpose products, dependable supply, and clear communication. We appreciate your continued support.
FAQ’s
Why are prices changing now?
We’re pricing to replacement cost. Resin, freight and fuel have moved quickly, and our priority is making sure we have product available when customers need it.
Are these changes temporary?
Costs remain volatile. We will continue to review pricing in line with market conditions and communicate any future changes early.
Will existing quotes be honoured?
Quotes valid through to 30 April 2026 will be honoured. Quotes beyond this date will be withdrawn.
Why are freight terms changing?
As a wholesaler, we’ve simplified the approach. Domestic freight costs have increased significantly and may continue to move. Clear, published freight settings avoid ad hoc surcharges and provide consistency across our customer base.
Is this just a margin increase?
No. This reflects a real market reset. Internal freight and input costs have increased materially. Acting now helps protect supply continuity and avoids more disruptive surcharges or product gaps later.
