The Firefox 5 multi fuel stove made by gallery fireplaces is again in short supply and we have had trade customers today on two occasions asking us if we can do a deal on 4 or more.
I knew last week there was a little problem when a company from Scotland called Smiddy Stoves rang me and asked if we could do trade price on them as Doughtys were out of stock of them and none were arrivng till November.
They did purchase four from us at our website prices as we do not discount them any further as they are already very cheap.
Today we have had two further calls from trade customers asking the same questions, we do only have 12 left in stock ready to sell which after this weekends sales pattern we will be lucky if we have any come Friday.
Asking questions as you do as to how come they were in short supply again after last years fiasco i was told they had ordered double what they sold in last years “heating season” and then told they had actually sold three times the amount which nobody could have predicted.
This has happened to all the regional gallery fireplace suppliers and no one has any left and as they are made in china and it takes six weeks to arrive we are all stumped.
So again we have a little problem with the supply of our best selling stove we do have a few left on 1st come 1st served basis so be quick they will not be around very long.
