UDC out of stock!

So I finally broke down and ordered a Qu-ax trials last week. I was
planning on just converting my torker DX into a trials, but decided the
$$$ was more worth it to just get a whole new uni. The quax was "out of
stock untill mid august", but seeing how it IS almost mid august, I
didnt think the wait would be too long.

Then I checked unicycle.com again today, I dunno why, just bored,
and, , the Qu-ax is now out of stock untill mid--september-!!!!
Sigh. That sucks...

Yep, that's no surprise to me! They seem to do this all the time. In
June they said the Qu-ax trials would be in stock mid-July. I would put
money on it that they'll bump it back again. Screw UDC!

It looks like WWUunicycler is really unhappy with Municycle.com and
Unicycle.com, mostly for reasons beyond those vendors' control. For best
results he should go get the unicycles himself, to get a better
understanding of the process of *someone else* shipping things to you.

Unicycle.com posts expected dates for arrivial of products, presumably
based on information they get from their suppliers. Unfortunately they
cannot control their suppliers' ability to be accurate.

Using Miyata seats as an example, the problem goes all the way back to
the earliest days when people sought out those superior seats. Miyata
would only ship them over once or twice a year, regardless of how many
orders were piling up for American vendors. And those ship dates were
never exact. Waiting 6 months or more for a new seat has been old news
with Miyata. The only times this wasn't true was when vendors like Tom
Miller, or later Unicycle.com, made huge orders of them that would last
longer than normal.

So to recap. When a vendor is out of stock on something and lists a date
for when it will be back in stock, this means they have already ordered
it. The listed date should be based on the information they were given
about when the shipment should arrive. They can no more speed up this
process than we can speed up the arrival of a new pair of shoes from
Korea. We're not the ones making the shoes!

I was getting annoyed at them for the same reason, so I emailed them for
some clarification.

-My email-
*I emailed you guys awhile ago asking when the Qu-Ax 20-inch trials
would be in stock and was quoted with a date of about August 20th.
Today I was looking through the online catalog and noticed it has now
been shoved back to a mid-September status.

What's the word now on its perceived in-stock date? I want to throw
$300 your way and buy it, but it seems to be perpetually out of stock,
and I would like to know when the unicycle money tossing party can
begin.*



They promptly (and they seem to be excellent at promptly responding to
emails) responded:

-UDC's response-
*We are getting a shipment of Qu-Ax cycles in stock in the next few
weeks but that shipment has already sold out of Qu-Ax Trials cycles
due to people ordering them before they’re back in stock. This cycle
is a high-demand cycle; if you are interested in purchasing one, I
would suggest pre-ordering one. If for some reason, we have an order
cancellation, you could possibly get one from this shipment but the
backorders for this cycle are continuing
to come in. Thanks!

Best Regards,

So there you have it; they keep on selling out before they get their new
shipment in. If you want one you might as well order now and get on the
waiting list, then sit back and wait.

I emailed them this a couple hours ago:

HELLO,

I RECENTLY ORDERED A QU-AX 20\" TRIALS UNICYCLE FROM YOU. IT SAID THAT
IT
WOULD BE OUT OF STOCK UNTIL MID-AUGUST. SEEING AS HOW IT'S ALMOST
MID-AUGUST
ANYWAY, I WENT AHEAD AND ORDERED IT. I CHECKED BACK TODAY AND SAW THAT
IT
HAD BEEN BUMPED UP TO OUT OF STOCK MID SEPTEMBER! WHY ARE THEY OUT OF
STOCK
SO MUCH, AND WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO BE BACK IN STOCK? IS THERE ANY
WAY I
CAN GET ONE SOONER?

I got this reply:

FORREST,

YOU WILL BE RECEIVING A QU-AX TRIALS OUT OF THE SHIPMENT WE'RE GETTING
NEXT
WEDNESDAY. THESE CYCLES ARE SO POPULAR THAT THEY SELL OUT BEFORE WE CAN
GET
THEM IN STOCK. YOU SHOULD EXPECT TO RECEIVE YOUR CYCLE IN THE NEXT TWO
WEEKS. THANKS FOR YOUR ORDER!

BEST REGARDS,

YOUR UNICYCLE.COM TEAM

Looks like I got upset over nothing. (I sure hope so)
