We want to alert you to the current stocking situatiion with regards to wood mouldings. Our industry (not just PFI) is currently experiencing lengthy delays on import orders. Today virtually all wood moulding is imported. Importing lead times have gone from 100 days to 200 days. Our foreign manufacturers are dealing with Covid related situations far different from what we have been dealing with in the United States.
While frustrating for everyone, we are doing everything in our power to get the supply levels back to pre-pandemic as soon as possible. That being said we still expect the condition to last through the summer. Our customer service team will do their best to help find suitable alternatives when an out of stock situation arises. This is also impacting our corner sample department. We continue to fill sample orders as the inventory and manpower allows. Any items missed on a sample order are being placed on a separate back order form and will processed when product becomes available to us.
Customers with projects that require significant quantities of a moulding will find it increasingly difficult. As always, we will do our very best to accommodate your needs.
With your support and patience we will get through these uncertain times.
Picture & Frame appreciates all of you!
