Chadwicks Timber more expensive?

I bought some 4.8m lengths of 100 x 22mm treated white deal from Chadwicks Limerick branch last week. I noticed the price was significantly greater than when I last bought the same timber in 2018 ie €10.68 per 4.8m now, €6.50 in 2018. I put this down to the general price increase in Timber but I then checked other websites and found that the same product was considerably cheaper ie

Goodwins €7.60 https://www.goodwins.ie/products/treated-rough-sawn-timber-100x22mm-4-8-metre-4x1-16ft.html?filter_set[]=20,266,3005

Brooks €7.92 https://brooksonline.ie/22x100mm-1x4-whitewood-rough-treated-fsc-2-swnt022100

TJO'Mahony €8.00 https://tjomahony.ie/03t1002248.html

Not seeing the consumer issue?

Ask them is the price correct, if they say yes then shop somewhere else thats cheaper.

I use to deal in a few hardway shops ,the difference in price in similar products was mind boggling .If you went building a house ,you would easily cut the cost big time on materials if you priced enough of bits individually but very time consumming

where should I have posted so in the "Rip off ireland" category

is a shop not charging about 40% more than others for the same product not a consumer issue?

Too late to be whingeing AFTER you bought the product. A company is entitled to charge what they like. Up to the customer to do their homework. No consumer issue here.

Yes they are entitled to charge what they want and I am entitled to call them out for it when they do so get lost with the "whingeing" crap
