The Stock Market FFA Update 12/15/21

We’ve all seen and felt the impacts of 2021’s global supply chain crisis.  The Stock Market remains committed to providing easy-to-access FFA thresholds and modest flat rate shipping charges to support our customers’ profitability and competitiveness. 

The Stock Market will continue to offer discounted shipping rates with minimal updates in our best effort to insulate our customers from the immediate volatility in freight.  These new discounted thresholds and flat rate fees are listed below and will go into effect on December 15th, 2021.

UPS Ground
Excludes Alaska & Hawaii

Orders Over $299
 FREE SHIPPING (FFA)
Orders Under $299
 $11.99 Flat Rate 

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)
Excludes Alaska & Hawaii

Orders Over $1500 
FREE SHIPPING (FFA)

Orders Under $1500
$89.00 Flat Rate 

Our Transportation teams are constantly monitoring freight and if rates sustain a shift downward in the future, then we will adjust FFA thresholds down. Please reach out to your account manager if you have any questions.

How Good Is Your Voicemail Message?

Updates from Marvin Montgomery
Sales Tip #570 From The Sales Doctor
How Good Is Your Voicemail Message?
Phil Stella runs Effective Training & Communication and empowers business leaders to reduce the pain with workplace communication. One of his pet peeves is voicemail messages that are too long and make a bad first impression.

Does this one sound like yours?

Hello, this is ______________________. I’m sorry I can’t take your call right now. I’m either on the other line or away from my desk, but your call is very important to me. Please leave me a detailed message with your name and number at the tone, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you and make it a great day.

Phil suggests that we shorten it.

Hello, this is _________________, your one-stop shop for small business technology needs. Please leave me a detailed message, and I’ll return it within four business hours. Thank you.

Listen to your voicemail today to see if it’s making a good first impression.

Furniture Guild Lead Times

Due to an increase in production demand, beginning Monday 11/29/2021, lead times for all standard Furniture Guild products will be 12-14 weeks. Custom orders will maintain the 1-2 week lead time for CAD approvals then follow with a 12-14 week production time. As always, please feel free to call with any questions you may have.

The Galley H/C Tap Update

I wanted to personally update you on the status of your backordered Galley Hot & Cold Taps, (PO#’s P1133209, P1133407, and P1134207). In August, we advised the Dealer and Designer network through our new price book that we expected this product to be “available late 2021.” Given the information we had at the time, that is what we believed. Based on a series of updates we received from our suppliers late last week, their latest ETA is now March. The supply chain issues regarding the hoses are still ongoing and, in addition to that, we have now been advised that we have an unexpected delay with our Hot Tanks as well, again a supply chain issue. Overall, we have managed to handle these global supply chain issues extremely well as a company. Other than our Hot & Cold Tap, (and more recently, our two new Wash Tools where there is a plastics/resin supply issue), we have seen no material backorder situations since the beginning of the Covid pandemic and have been able to ship all Galley products in a timely manner.

The delays on this product are extremely frustrating and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you with your clients. We are pressing very hard for an earlier resolution. Once we do receive them from our factory, assuming your customers are willing to wait, we will ship them to you immediately with an additional 25% discount. In the interim, we would be happy to send you a Galley Hole Cover at no charge for your customers to use until the Hot & Cold Tap and Hot Tank are shipped to you. Just email Alicia Letney at alicia.letney@thegalley.com and let her know if that is something you would like to do.

SUMMIT PRICING 12/20/21

We wanted to announce that unlike other years, this year we will be holding our current 2021 prices through January – with the exception of 18 SKU’s 

As of Monday, December 20, 2021, new pricing will be implemented for the 18 sku’s listed in the attachment. We’ve disclosed details on the forces causing the new pricing – which are listed in the attached letter from our President, Paul Storch. 

To make this transition as seamless as possible, we will continue to honor your CURRENT pricing for those 18 sku’s scheduled to ship by Friday, December 17, 2021. Additionally, we will gladly fulfill any last-minute orders that are for immediate shipping on Friday, December 17, 2021.

We also encourage you to revisit any quotes, that include any of the 18 sku’s listed, expiring after December 17, 2021. If you would like to move forward with that original quote, we suggest scheduling models to be released before the NEW pricing is activated on December 20, 2021.

Please note that these dates are only implied for the 18 sku’s listed. All other prices from our current price schedule will remain until at least February 1st and as always we will give you advance notice on price updates.
