  • Paperlinx and Oracal 751, anyone else having stock issues?

    Posted by Chris Windebank on June 9, 2014 at 2:53 pm

    Is it just me but lately whenever I call to place an order there is nothing in stock.

    Can I have 20m 038 please, sorry sir we do not keep that in stock anymore.

    Can I have some 042 then, sorry sir we do not stock that either!

    059? we only have 1220, we can split it!
    536? only 13m left, not a popular colour! I better take the lot then

    Been told there are phasing out 630 widths and if I get a large order they can get 50m rolls in in 5 days

    Anyone else having stock problems?
    if thy do not hold certain colours I think we should be informed as to which one they are

    Yep I rang up for 6m of Avery Supreme Cardine red…

    We’ve only 6m left, I will check to see if it’s a running 6m or not. 😕

    Yeah I rang up to order a 50m roll of 651-071 grey and was told they only had 30m left. Order arrived as a 25m and a 5m.

    I guess this is becoming some kind of fashion nowadays.. I switched to a new dealer recently and while I was researching a noticed a lot of such issues with Paperlinx.. That is why I went to Antalis but I have not ordered 751 yet.

    Thevinylcorp, which I used before did not have any problems with that material. I was delayed only once and that was for 2-3 days. However, they do not have a lot of the other materials I like.

    SignGround also have 751 but their delivery is 3-4 days..

    I hope this will stop at some point as it is hard to look for a different color/material or supplier each time someone is out of stock..

    The thing I hate about that Chris is they don’t even tell you it’s part rolls! They just send them out!

    I dont use them at all now, Antalis for me, or Metamark.

    as they ask us a minimum of 5m as an order I expect them to send out a minimum of 5m not 2m.

    Fair point raised with them and credit now on way
