2022 Allflex Price Increase Alert

Allflex is implementing a price increase for the first time in almost three years. This price increase begins on July 1, 2022. This means that WLIC will also need to increase our prices on July 1, 2022.

We will also be updating some of our terms and policies as it relates to freight.

If you want to take advantage of the current prices before the increase, you must place your order prior to July 1^st. Please note shipping is still taking up to 16 weeks from the time the order is placed.

However, Allflex has now opened a second manufacturing plant and they expect to get caught up with backorders and get back to their standard three week turnaround by the end of 2022.
