Navigating Supply Chain Issues: The Smart Way

3 Habits of Highly Frustrated Leaders | BillLeckie.com
Delayed again!

Although we are putting the COVID-19 Pandemic in the rear view mirror, many supply chain issues that started because of shut downs, shipping delays and raw materials shortages are having a dramatic impact on how businesses can quickly fulfill orders. Our industry is no exception. Many of our suppliers are experiencing longer lead times which delays product getting to our facilities and ultimately to you the end user.

Navigating the out-of-stock issues can be a pain especially if you use just one brand of hinges, drawer slides, etc. But luckily we are here to help. We have huge buying power and are always at the top of fulfillment queues, meaning we get product much faster and in bigger quantities than many other hardware suppliers. Plus, we have options for substitutes for many of your most commonly purchased items. For example, we have 8 different suppliers for just Undermount Drawer Slides! So if your favorite brand is out of stock we can help you choose the best possible replacement.

Don’t want to substitute? Take our advice and place your order now so you are in queue for when shipments are received. Many lead times are averaging only 2-4 weeks at most. In fact, you may want to stock up now and be in the best possible inventory position when orders start shipping in our normal lead time.

The long and short of it? Supply chain issues are a part of everyday life during this trying time. You want to be with a partner who has your back. With our multi-million dollar commitment to inventory, our strong supplier relationships and our diverse product mix, we are that partner. Our first priority is with you, our valued customer and we are working around the clock to ensure the fastest possible order fulfillment experience.
