  • That’s kind of you, thanks.
    But I have a delivery heading heading my way Tuesday (apparently…)

    Very odd things in the supply chain being effected this last year or so.

  • There is, apparently, a single manufacturer in Germany that supplies all of the solid core blanks in the UK, and they have appeared to say fuck it for a few months.

  • That does make sense to me.
    Doesn’t take much extra bureaucracy/staff absence to fuck up a whole chain I suppose.

    Laughingly some of the delivery drivers for my suppliers insist that the shortages are due to “the Chinese” buying up all the produce. Blame the mystery foreigns as usual….

    Calling bullshit on that I get all of my fire doors and door blanks direct from a UK based manufacturer who will do both multi-laminate and particle board cores.
    Lead time is ~ 3 weeks if you pay a 20% premium on usual prices.
