SHUTTLECOCK PRICE INCREASE - MARCH 2026

For years, Yehlex has been committed to providing high quality feather shuttlecocks at very competitive rates. However, due to sustained increases in costs, we reluctantly find it necessary to adjust pricing across our feather shuttlecock range.

We understand such a substantial increase is challenging. We have absorbed rising costs for as long as possible - implementing just one increase in the last 18 months, and by far less than other brands in that time. However current market conditions have made our previous prices unsustainable. This decision was not made lightly, driven by several key factors:

• Raw Materials: Global demand for feathers now vastly outweighs supply, significantly driving up costs at the source.

• Manufacturing: Production costs have reached an all-time high and continue to rise monthly.

• Logistics & Global Conflict: International shipping fees have surged. Sea freight container charges have increased by over 250%, compounded by Emergency Fuel Surcharges and "War Risk" fees arising from the situation in the Middle East.

Despite these challenges, Yehlex remains the only UK brand to steam all shuttlecocks locally to ensure superior quality and performance. While this adjustment aligns our pricing closer to the wider market, we remain committed to offering more affordable rates than our main competitors.

We believe Yehlex continues to represent the best value and most economical shuttles in the market, and we look forward to your continued support throughout 2026.

Sincerely,

The Yehlex Management Team.
