Well... There’s Bad News And Some Not Quite-As-Bad News... 

Van’s Aircraft is increasing most of their kit prices by approximately 32%. 

Online order forms will be updated with the new kit prices. Prices of individual parts and components will also be increasing, some more than 32%, and others less. While these price changes are significant, Van’s believes them to be necessary.  

In conjunction with these price changes, Van’s has also instituted new policies related to how they package and sell their kits. Moving forward, Van’s is standardizing kit offerings. They have reviewed what is included (or not included) in each kit and made a number of changes. In addition, they are implementing a no-deletions policy and revising our kit deposit terms and payment schedule.

The changes to the kit prices and policies apply to new orders, as well as orders that were placed before the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Van’s will soon communicate with customers who had unfulfilled, open orders about these changes, and give them an opportunity to review all modifications to their previous order(s) -- and to accept or refuse the new terms, conditions, and pricing. Those refusing this option may face some risks to their deposits and payments. More info to come...
