[Histonet] RE: back orders from various vendors

[Martha Ward-Pathology]

At least I know I am not crazy or being paranoid!   :)     this year just seems to be worse than I ever remember it being....and the worse part is while I am freaking out because I can't get something I desperately need, the customer service person can only say  "We are sorry for the inconvenience".   Argggggg!!!!

Happens every year at this time with various vendors and end of year.  I always over order in October to be sure I am good through the end of the year or as close as I can.  I know the things I use most and those are just what is always in backorder at the end of the year.  October became my answer as long as expiration dates are not an issue.

I just need a moment to vent....is it just me or is everyone seeing more and more back order issues with their various vendors?   It is not specific to any one particular vendor, product or even category of product, but lately I am being told more and more often that an item is not available....expected release dates anywhere from a few days to 6-8 weeks!      This is starting to cause real problems .....

Thanks for letting get this off my chest.....I will resume my frantic search for another antibody vendor now.....
