From our friends at UNIC Fencing America:

Good Afternoon, Everyone!
As always, thanks for your support, and kind words.
We will raise prices starting this Friday on EBay at https://www.ebay.com/usr/unic.fencing.america , as well as, on our club and retail programs by about 5-6%.
Main reasons:

Biggest complaint on EBay has been accuracy and timing on part of USPS, we switched to FedEx (unannounced) a month ago and results have been beyond satisfactory. So will stay with FedEx going forward.

Second and pretty much only other complaint has been quality of packaging, which we were trying to reuse. We have switched to thick poster tubes, and have received nothing but compliments about them.

Since the tariff excitement started, Euro has increased by approximately 7% and has stayed there.

We have purchased enough inventory pre-tariffs to (hopefully) last us through July, in order to avoid constant price fluctuation they seem to bring; one can hope they will go away by then.
We have also shipped large amount of blades to our partners at Fencing Post, Alliance, and BG - so their prices on UNIC should be stable for a while.
Hope this was not a bother, wishes of brilliant week, Bogdan.

FROM UNIC Fencing Equipment AMerica.

Good Afternoon, Everyone!
As always: hopefully this is not a bother.
Firstly Very Happy Thanksgiving to you, your Families, and loved ones.
We will try something new this weekend; from Thursday through Monday all prices in EBay will be at pre-November, and we will accept additional offer of 5% discount if in the offer comments you use the "code" REDDIT. Apologies for the discount not being deeper - given price increases, couple of listed items are below our cost.
https://www.ebay.com/usr/unic.fencing.america
For clubs - any order received through Monday will be invoiced at old wholesale prices (if the goods are in stock), minimum order is 10 blades; please kindly DM if you have any questions. All of our current inventory is listed on EBay if you want to check what is available.
Lastly we received (a very small) shipment of new Arrow Light Epee blades - I really like them, feedback for last month and a half from elite fencers and coaches has been very good.

They are available in regular and FIE Maraging versions ( #5 only): unwired or with Ultralight FIE Titanium German Style Point (4.7 grams).
Actual point and screws are from Uhlmann.
AFAIK - they are the lightest forged epee blades on the market at 142 and 143 grams respectively, please correct me if that statement is in error.
Once again - Very Happy Holiday, thankful for your support and time.
All the best wishes, Bogdan.

New #5 Arrow Lightweight FIE Epee blade by UNIC Fencing. This is the lightest one piece construction #5 Epee Blade on the world market by at least 20 grams. Blade Weight - 142 grams. You are buying directly from the blade manufacturer.
