Cost of 1.3

[Salutecake]

Any one hearing anything about the cost of 1.3 products for next year, and also there availability?

Shipping costs continue to climb so expect similar increases to last year (I'm adding 20% to my budget over last year). The exception might be product that's already in stock but that is slim pickings from most distributors. Availability is anyone's guess. Many distributors ordered product for July 2021 that still hasn't made it. I know product is trickling in but the ongoing supply chain / shipping issues are going to dictate how much product and when. My suggestion is order early and often and be flexible with the product you choose. That applies to both 1.3 and 1.4.

I know the company I work for just now was able to get their order finalized. Now the other hard part….. shipping which is anyone’s guess at this point with now 60+ ships off the California coast waiting. This is for 1.3 product but I’m sure 1.4 is the same. It’s going to be an interesting year in the biz.
