Re: OUT OF STOCK

As a distributor, AndyMark is at the mercy of its suppliers. I'm sure the manufacturers of the original products (CTRE, REV, IR3, etc.) are working hard to restock the Kokomo shelves.
I'm sure the weather hasn't helped. Schools have been shut down Wednesday and Thursday; transportation has undoubtedly suffered as well.
One thing to remember about Out Of Stock is that it isn't permanent (unless you're looking for discontinued items). I've also found that when placing an order, you can request them to hold items until your entire order is in stock. That way you can save on your shipping costs.

The previous statements could be extrapolated to VexPRO and all the other suppliers as well (except the weather - I doubt Texas has endured subzero temps lately). Suppliers don't necessarily know the game before kickoff, and even if they did, they couldn't possibly know how teams will design for the game. But in all cases, FIRST suppliers take customer service very seriously and will work with teams to ensure they have good experiences.
