LONDINIUM R build & shipping update

by Reiss Gunson on Friday, 10 March 2017 16:29

so as some of you know, i have been pestering our manufacturer this week for updates on when the rest of the february batch of LONDINIUM R will be ready to ship

the response from the Managing Director (below) provides a fairly comprehensive explanation as to why we are suffering delays in getting LONDINIUM R out the door presently;

Sorry Reiss I'm still at work [it was 22:30 in the UK at the time - my insertion] we are off the scale at the moment I haven't even answered any emails today just too busy. I can see your machines being packed so they will be ready tomorrow. If you need an update ask Hayley she will always find out for you. To give you an idea we have done 160 machines in 4 days!!!!! That's far more than our capacity and we have staff off everywhere at the moment. Give her a shout tomorrow with regards to shipping

so whilst the above might not be the news you want to hear, you now possess all the information that i possess

it means that we will have some machines to book out today, but how many i do not yet know

the march build is filling up, which i expect to commence in the 15-20 March slot, so if you want to be in the March build now is the time - the next build after that will be mid April

im sorry about these delays, but they are in no way related to the machine - no design changes have been made or are planned and we have all the components in stock, it is simply our manufacturer is super busy and we need to wait in the queue - after all they now build a custom machine for Subway, which is a truly massive contract and makes the demands of LONDINIUM laughably insignificant in comparison

what i am equaly confident of is Adrian will get on top of this backlog and catch up

we appreciate your patience

kind regards

 

reiss.
