Operations Update

Warehouse Inbounding Update FDL/Sidekick, Coast to Coast Trucking Delays,

As our warehouses continue to ramp up their operations into the season, delays will persist on both coasts as we transition from heavy inbound operations to heavy outbound. We are working diligently to ensure the warehouses are taking the necessary steps to get us through this situation.

Fond du Lac: Currently inbounding in 3-5 days depending on the number of orders on the container
Hillebrand Last Mile/Sidekick: Have brought in additional staff for nights and weekends to create space and help push through inbounds. We have seen some progress but inbounds are still delayed by 5-7 days. They project it will take them another couple of weeks to reduce their timeline to normal.

Coast to Coast Trucking Delays. ORDER NOW IF YOU NEED GOODS FOR NOVEMBER:
Shipments from CA to NY are taking 3-4 weeks via Advantage. This is due to heavy seasonal volume. Order now to make sure you have inventory for the peak in November.

Last Chance to Order Wine For the Holiday Season (East Coast)
Customers have been taking advantage of a largely normalized supply chain for much of the year, but we are now in the homestretch. There is still time to land wine in New York for delivery to your accounts during the busy time and to have reload-stock ready for Q1, as well as take advantage of any remaining CBMA credit you may still be due. Order this week to make sure your wine arrives in time.
