I don't want my cardboard supplier to raise his prices, either, but the fact is that fuel prices and labor costs are going up and smart business people pass that increase cost of business on to the customer. Yes, it doesn't make it easier for me, but that isn't my supplier's concern.
You can look around for other suppliers and try to get a better price, but I don't know of any supplier that is going to reduce their profit margin because a vendor is having a slow market.
