Hey Mike, when do you expect the new Messy colors to be available?
|
The shipment has arrived in Seattle, but......they are going to do a special exam, looking for WMD and Chinese Beetles. That can add a week to the process. And there is also some kind of work slowdown at the port meaning it will take longer to load onto a truck.
So to answer your question.....maybe the first week of February we will be shipping. We wait to hear from our broker to get a real date, but until it is on a truck, we out of luck.
This shipment is 12 new colors, not mistakes, not miss melts, but colors made due to customer requests.
And speaking of new colors, the next Effetre shipment should be in port in about a week and should be showing up around the time of the new Messy shipment. Included in this shipment we will be offering the following:
591210-H, Avocado made by hand. So now you will have two choices, including the normal 591210-M Avocado made by machine that we have been selling for years.
591211-H, Sage made by hand, so again two choices, one version by Hand and one by machine (591211-M)
591262-H and 591262-M
We will also have 591066-M 4-7mm, Intense Black. We tested it and it is perfect and almost half the price. I think the list price will be around $40 and with our normal discounting, the price will be closer to $26-$30 per pound, and we will have plenty to go around.
We are getting some new Millefiori Cane.
I am sure there is more on this shipment to talk about, but will leave that for next weeks post and update about the next Effetre shipment.
And of course we are getting a massive restock on White and other colors that we have run low on, or totally out of.
We will be getting in hundreds of pounds of 591081, but no 591536 yet.
While Frantz is primarily a soft glass (104 coe) seller, we have always sold borosilicate color, but will increase the colors and tools and supplies to the boro worker.
But we will continue have the largest selection of Effetre and Messy color on the entire planet.
Thanks
Mike
