Mug Shortage

[NickH]

It's getting a bit tight for mugs, none of the main places I'd use seem to have any.

Even MDP are out

Yep, seems every supplier is out now, that or delayed at sea somewhere. We think we will run out soon, disappointing with as a profitable time of year but we might just have to switch everything off earlier than planned and have an extended Christmas break.

I ordered the last 4 boxes of mugs from mdp yesterday
Mdp have said the next delivery is estimated to be 20-24th December.

I have no smashproof boxes and no mug mailers so god only knows how I’m going to post them out??

Then it’s going to be a quiet Christmas, thankfully I have the new bn20 to get moving on with some new ideas.

Anywhere that supplies good 10oz mugs getting a delivery this week do we know?

Xpres have (or had) some stock available due in on 7th December. They can't guarantee an exact date so don't hold me to that. We've reserved a number of boxes and they 'may' have some left. Worth a call.

Will give them a call Justin, could do with about 6 pallets too be honest to last Christmas and into middle of January before stock back for good.

Cracks me up all this pallet stuff, and i feel bad for people that use that kind of volume as that equates to quite a large loss in earnings.

And there is little old me freaking out that I cant buy 200 mugs lol still I am getting there I guess

Good Luck everyone that is still looking

Those of us who buy bulk tend not to have this problem though as we tend to predict our volumes and make sure we have enough from about early November

Damn right!
If i had the room i would be buying in pallets too.
Sadly my unit is only big enough for what i have already, and ordering 4-6 boxes of 36 mugs and the mailers at a time takes up all the spare room i have.
(poly mailers are bloody huge boxes!)
