September Notes from Mike.
Fall is in the air, and that means our busiest time of the year is here. With the past 18 months throwing our nation many curveballs, we have all weathered the storm. However, with continued supply chain issues, labor shortages and manufacturing challenges, our industry is really seeing the effects of this as we approach fall.
The winterization industry is currently experiencing longer than normal manufacturing and delivery times. With that in mind, you may see some of our popular sizes in low supply– we are doing everything we can to keep up with demand. Keep in mind there are several alternative sizes, colors, and/or mil thicknesses in stock and on the floor that should work well for you as a substitute or alternative.
Dr. Shrink is stocking our facility with truckloads of material each day and our warehouse is working hard to get you your orders as quickly as possible. If you are on our website and you see that we have low stock or a “call to order” note, please give our customer service team a call, and we can discuss your project and match you with a suitable alternative that we have in stock, and ready to ship out to you.
As always, we thank you for your continued support, and please know that we are working hard to get you your material as quickly as possible. As we continue to navigate this unprecedented time in our industries history, I know we will all continue to adapt, adjust and work through whatever comes our way.
Best wishes on a successful fall, and please feel free to contact me personally with any questions you may have. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor Day weekend!
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.
