Please advise on ETA of this shipment ? I was told by Endless horizon back in April that he would have product in June ??
I would suggest rather than be using a forum for this kind of communication, you contact Kevin directly and confirm the time line to be able to place your order if suitable. Kevin should be replying or answering those inquiries, so i will leave that for him.
Obviously, as Adam has mentioned, when your building a network of dealers, and getting stock levels up as time, supply and money permits, if sales are more than expected, you cant bring forward 8-12 week build times on custom product, you can only go "out of stock".
We have a sea freight order Kevin is shipping as required, and he is confirming a air freight order to be there next week on the shortest part numbers.
There was an order we had ready in April to sea freight [55 day shipping + pick up/delivery] but there was some confusion to timing of that requirement, which saw it delayed, and sold out in the mean time.
As I mentioned, 7-12 week lead times on rolling orders means you cant bring forward production schedules when this happens.
Our warehouse burned down at Xmas, which saw us lose some stock, and we tripled down on orders to fill shelves on the back of that, which is a big investment to recover quickly. Kevin's orders werent delayed by this.
I am sure once Kevin has the dealer network fully organised and stocked, the inventory management will become much easier.
I can also tell you that there is absolutely no comparison to the issues previous, and Kevin has been stepping up to try and prevent nil stock, on some items, but like most businesses in the USA right now, big sales, and lead times, means 8-16 weeks on things like 80 bumpers and lots of other popular products.
Of course our preference would be to have +1 to everything required to sell tomorrow, in a perfect world.
I will let Kevin communicate to those contacting him on the delivery component currently.
