There are shortages of lulavim this  year because of the situation in  
Egypt.  Quite a few people pre-paid for their lulovim and esrogim and then  my 
husband was hit with a price increase because of the shortage of lulavim this 
 year.  He wants to know if he can ask customers who paid already to now  
give him more when they come to pick up the sets they ordered.  (It's not  
like New York where there are thousands of customers and they can pick their 
own  sets from tables piled high -- there just isn't the volume that would 
allow  that, they have to be preordered and shipped from New York.)  The  
difference would be an extra five dollars per set -- which would not be  profit 
but just what it's costing him extra this year.  (Which does add up  and 
could be a distinct loss for him -- he has to pay his suppliers the  
difference.)
