BMS are out of stock of European mugs, and say they won't have any for approx 2 weeks. Not sure how they've let that happen - seems a bit of a mistake business wise to not be able to supply demand.
So, we're now having to source from somewhere else to fulfill orders, which is frustrating as all our mugs for a long time have been the BMS ones.
Any one got a couple of spare boxes of BMS European mugs then please PM me!!!

2 out of 3 of my mug suppliers don't have any stock right now and it regularly happens. Sublimation is a hard one to work stock levels for. I can't blame them too much as I could keep a much larger buffer myself but like most others I don't like having money tied up unless I need to.

Are there not very similar mugs available to get you by for now? I can interchange between my suppliers if needed as the mugs look the same to the untrained eye.

We might have 1 or nearly 1 box available. The Diamond Jubilee increased demand a lot and then a large customer of ours who bought mugs elsewhere decided to come back to us and it made a bit of a hole in the warehouse! The next container of these is due to dock June 21 and will be on the shelf either June 22 or June 25.

We stocked ourselves up with enough mugs for our display at Pulse but forgot (and didn't have spare cash flow) to pre-order in the blanks needed for any potential orders. We got orders, and now need the mugs to print on! Had to go elsewhere for them this time, which is a shame, as I do like the consistancy of knowing that all our mugs come from one source.
