"Trampoline prices 'to soar 50% on shipping costs'
Soaring shipping costs are likely to cause a bounce in the cost of trampolines in the UK this summer, according to one games retailer.
James Owen, owner of Outdoor Toys, says high transport costs and port congestion may mean larger toys such as swings, trampolines and climbing frames will be more expensive.
Trampoline prices could soar by 40-50%, he told BBC 5 Live's Wake Up to Money.
"The port congestion just keeps snowballing," he said.
"More and more issues keep arising," Mr Owen added. "We can't get space out of China, there's a container shortage."
