Customer Announcement - Weems & Plath Pricing

In compliance with our customer service policy, Windward Instruments is announcing a forthcoming price adjustment which will impact our Weems and Plath customers.

Effective May 15, 2007 Weems and Plath, manufacturer of a popular instrument line, will establish a MAP (minimum advertised price) policy. All factory authorized dealers will be required to adjust pricing of all Weems and Plath instruments to be in compliance with this policy.

BellClocks.com, the retail division of Windward Instruments, will change pricing effective May 15, 2007 to be in compliance with MAP policy. The pricing adjustment will affect all Weems and Plath products, including Ship's Bell Clocks, Quartz Clocks, Barometers, and Navigation instruments.

In addition to the price adjustment, several Weems and Plath products will be discontinued by BellClocks.com, as we simply can not justify the higher price to our customers, based upon quality and comparables readily available in the market. Some of the products being discontinued include the entire Eastport Large and Small, and Westport Large and Small collections, all chart weights, and the 4000 electronic marine barometer.

BellClocks.com will also discontinue sales of Weems and Plath Orion Ship's Bell, and Ship's Wheel Bell clock models due to serious quality issues with those models.

Windward Instruments, and BellClocks.com will continue to provide service to all customers who have purchased any of the discontinued items.

We apologize for any inconvenience to our customers. These changes are beyond our control, and are needed to provide the best possible service to our customers.

We are happy to answer any questions regarding these changes. Please visit bellclocks.com, or call 800-210-0492 for more information.
