Dreside is unequivocally committed to offering protective products at reasonable prices.
Price Gouging is the practice of raising the price of existing goods in response to shocks in (usually) supply. A price tag alone does not constitute price gouging. Our masks are acquired at an immense premium, which is why there are so expensive. Prices will continue to fall as supply normalizes.
Price gouging is an unacceptable practice. That being said, we often receive questions regarding why our mask pricing is more expensive than pre-pandemic circumstances. We are a business, but we try to keep our margins razor-thin to ensure adequate product distribution. There are significantly more considerations that we take into account when pricing our equipment, including complex economic decisions that allow us to ensure those who need our equipment the most receive it. Hopefully the below answers any questions, and if not please reach out to our support team!
Currently, 3M has been prioritizing the needs of front line healthcare professionals and those that are vulnerable to this pandemic which we strongly agree.
