RED EUROPE versus RED USA. Like with any company that has multiple sales locations (subsidiaries, distributors, etc), you are going to have differing inventory levels by location. You stock each location based on what you think demand will be for x period of time. If sales are higher or lower than forecasted, then one location may be in stock in one item while it is not in another due to relative inventory levels. In this case, RED EUROPE had higher than forecasted sales on an item so we would up being out of backorder quicker on shipments from US than RED EUROPE. The reverse has happened in the past on some items. That being said, when we recognize a big delta between locations, our supply chain team will go back to inventory and try to load balance to their best of their ability - and as quickly as they can. Obviously, a lot goes into that analysis and you don't want to rob Peter to pay Paul.Originally Posted by Tony Lorentzen
That all being said, a big shipment of Canon mounts hit the docks at REL today and more arrive there next week. We just caught up on Canon backorders shipping from US and REL is right on the heels of that. So, delta recognized, supply chain load balanced, REL is getting more mounts.
