[QUOTE="Per SÃ¸vik, post: 97573, member: 1285"] Re: X32 Core Shipping A couple of months ago, a Starin employee posted something on this forum I believe, to the effect that Starin doesn't preorder anything until there is a demand. My reaction was to post a single question: "Really?", but on reflection I have to admit that this is the sort of distributor behaviour that is commonplace today, particularly with products that have sole distributors that are not solely dependant on the distribution of a single brand of product. When a manufacturer appoints a sole distributor, a distributor that might even have other products competing for the same market share, there is no incentive to risk overstocking or indeed risk distributing a product that might have a high return rate while potential early production problems are surfacing. Edit: I went looking for the post I referred to about Starin, but couldn't find it, so it might be either in another forum or someone else that made that claim about Starin's preordering practice.
