Cancel it now. Get your money back. I'm serious. Get it while you still can.
EVERYTHING is empty right now. Not just PreSonus. Not just electronics. Not just music. Everything is on the ragged edge.
I have delivery dates on everything from Behringer synths to heavy Machinetools. ALL of them are weeks away and some "late summer or later". Anything from the Asian Rim is months away. Europe is way behind. Talking to a feed store operator (yes, livestock stuff). He can't get feedstock from a couple of states away!
Yes, Covid is the talking point, but I fear that's not entirely true. Yes, there's the 'labor shortage' where a lot of people are still at home, but an awful lot of stuff is automated. Those automated lines can't get their supplies from other automated lines. Yes, the Suez was blocked "entirely by accident" but how does the Suez affect deliveries from Wisconsin? That's the excuse they used. Guess they got tired of using Covid.
Was looking at an online order that right before payment said "delivery in 45-60 days". Now they had said nothing about 'backorder'. 45 days?? IOW, they didn't have a CLUE when they would see it, but they're trying to tie up the money until they relent. I didn't buy the equipment.
So i've learned my lesson the hard way. Years ago, when i used to go to McDonald's, and they actually fried burgers and put them in bins, I learned to NEVER order anything that you could not see, otherwise, you might be standing there for 10 minutes. Right now, i've learned again that that same policy applies to everyone I'm doing business with.
If you ain't got it, ready to ship, I ain't buying. If you can't commit to a date prior to money transacting, I'm not your customer. Maybe we'll return to better days, maybe not, but right now, beware.
