Tech Support                                 As you may know, Mike Hancock is no longer at Americh.  We have decided to handle Tech Service as a team.  You can speak with any of our Customer Service team about tech issues or you can email TechSupport@americh.com and your email will be answered by one of our Customer Service team.

Customer Care Announcement: BLANCO Shipment Notification

BSH Recovery Mode

Column and French Door Built In Situation:

The plan is that we recover all backorders for Built in excluding Wine Columns (backorders will continue for now) by end of February. Meaning March 1st we will be out of backorder and stock positive.

Freestanding Refrigeration:

The plan shows we will most likely fill all backorders by February  and start to see stock March 1st

ADA 18 Inch Dish:

Available and we have stock currently.

800 , 500 series Dish:

We will likely go into the launch of new Model Lines with a backorder situation.

100 series Dish:

We will likely be out of backorder by February and have stock moving forward.

Bosch Slide In Gas and Duel Fuel  Electric and Induction Ranges:

We have stock of these models.

Bosch Thermador Ovens and combos:

We are projecting to be out of backorders By April 1st.

Bosch Thermador Gas Cooktops:

Bosch has stock

Thermador projecting end of February out of backorder.

Thermador Pro Ranges Harmony and Grand:

PRG366WH has stock in most warehouses right now.

All Harmony and Grand Ranges are projected to be out of backorder by July.

In summary, Bosch product (besides 800 500 series dish) seems to have had a quick recovery here moving forward for Q1. We do have the German model dishwashers in stock and more on the way to order in place of those series.

Thermador – We should now be able to concentrate on Filling the pipeline with orders and be pretty confident that consumers will not have to wait an astronomical amount of time for them to come in. Looks like most product categories recover by end of March and Ranges all sizes by end of July. Again some models within categories will recover faster than others but this info should give us some peace of mind to get back on track writing orders for upcoming kitchens for our customers.

TOTO USA Lead Time Guide Updated

Baldwin Hardware Product Delay’s

Effective immediately –

Baldwin Cremone Bolts, surface bolts, Dutch Door Quadrants and the MP009 (Multipoint Bristol Trim) all sizes, functions and finishes will have extended lead-times direct from Baldwin.  I realize these aren’t high volume items for all, but wanted to let you know so you were surprised by lead-time on acknowledgements. 

In meantime, if you are in immediate need of some of these items; a wholesaler on east coast called Direct Security Supply stocks cremone bolts, surface bolts and quadrants in several finishes.  Their number is (800) 252-5757.   

We are working with our manufacturing teams and suppliers to get these items back to normal made to order 4-5 week lead-time.  I will send out another message once we have these items restored. 

Below are some images of the items.

I apologize for inconvenience, but wanted to be proactive until I got a better idea of when internal production issues are under control.   

Let me know if you have any questions.
