I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of out-of-stock situations at certain vendors and/or of certain product lines. First there was some of the Meg's DA MF pads and the 5" backing plate. Then the Detailer bulk QID, now a lot of the GTechniq stuff. I notice ADS is also out of stock on a lot of different items, including OPC.
I can imagine some unforseen demand issues with some of these products, but the length of outage really makes me wonder, like with the Meg's QID...how long does it take to mix up some more and truck it out to the 4 corners of the country? A couple weeks?
With some of the smaller places, like PakShak (GTechniq) and ADS, I can see where it's a cash flow issue, where they don't want to inventory large amounts (especially the GTech which is expensive), or maybe it's a warehouse space issue, but it seems like when the stock runs out it should be replenished a little faster.
Has anybody else noticed this? I bought a few things a month or so ago and candidly, both AG and ADS missed my business because they were missing one thing that I wanted to order, and I didn't want to place multiple orders. Here it a month later and ADS still doesn't have the spray bottle of OPC in stock. What gives?
