Cost of parachute repack ....

Here in Northern UT the master rigger many of us used to perform
parachute repacks passed away. Two other people have been identified,
both take a week or so to perform the job with one charging $60 and
the other charges $75.

I do not mind paying for good service, and with this only needed to be
done twice a year with the total costs equal to about 3 tows, these
costs are twice the price I am use to.

I am curious what other folks pay around the country.

Thanks in advance

Phoenix, AZ, USA. $60.

It seems the price went up a lot when the packing interval increased.
Got to keep riggers in beer money!

I'm in the Toronto, ON area.
I use a master rigger nearby who charged $60 last year, although a
pilot at my club says it's going to be $70 this year. Many of my
club's members use him, as well as many sport jumpers, so it's
sometimes a bit of a wait to get the repack.
The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, ON (60 miles from
Toronto) has a rigger that charged $70 last year, although that
included admission to the museum that day.

We have a master rigger who is charging us $50
to repack our parachutes. It is normally done in
two days.

I think I paid $65 at Strong Parachutes in Orlando. A reasonable fee for life insurance if you ask me.

JJ - the master rigger Ron is referring to who sadly passed away
charged us $35 for the repacks last year. That is why we are so
shocked at the "real world" pricing. He was not just a really nice
guy but it now looks like he was the least expensive repacker on the
block by a large margin.

Forget Repacking prices, I'm more interested in $20-25 Tows!!

$70 in the Las Vegas NV area for repeat customers, ($10 discount).
Up from $60 a few years ago, but it stayed steady after the interval
increase.
Our repacks are less than 5% of the diggers annaul business. He gets
them done within a week.
