Current Supply Chain Outlook

Current Supply Chain Outlook:

The US is still experiencing an ongoing global supply chain crisis. As a result, 4TEKGear is experiencing supply chain constraints and fluctuations in product inventory and pricing. We continue to work through these highly fluid, industry-wide challenges, which are resulting in pricing volatility and longer-than-normal delivery times for many of our manufacturers.

We are working hard to provide our best estimates and delivery options to get your products to you as soon as possible. We still cannot guarantee that inventory will not change or that prices will stay the same. For best product availability and pricing, we recommend placing orders as soon as possible. 

 

Shipping Impacts:

Shipping status will be updated online as usual, but please note that even on guaranteed services, such as Next Day Air, potential shipping delays may occur.  Please also be aware that nearly all carriers are imposing surcharges, specifically for residential deliveries. These surcharges are impacting customer freight costs.

 

Working with 4TEKGear:

1.       For best product availability and pricing, we recommend placing orders as soon as possible.  

2.       To counteract unforeseen price increases, please minimize the time between receiving a quote and placing an order.

3.       Work with your account manager to forecast your needs for the next 6 months if possible.

4.       Be prepared to place an order well in advance of your forecasted needs depending on lead times.
