The following notice was written for the Spring 2008 demand for Marble apples. Even though the crisis has temporarily passed PLEASE HEED FOR FUTURE REFERENCE: ............................. "Since we are having so many inquiries for Marble Apples this spring we thought you should know a few facts about availability. First of all we carry BLANK (unimprinted) Marble Apples year round whenever they are available from our various vendors. These are great when you are ordering only a few that do not need to be imprinted, or want to combine with other items from our site. We currently DO have In Stock about 150 Marble Apples with the Brass Stem. The pricing reflects both the scarcity and demand at this time of the year. We hope you understand. We have only a few Marble Apples with the Natural Stem until our suppliers bring in more in June at the earliest. Secondly we offer the same styles of Marble Apples that come from other suppliers who have the capability to imprint or etch on Marble. These are ordered in quantities of usually 25 pcs. or more (depending on the policy of the supplier) and are shipped directly from them. At this time there are NO SUPPLIERS that have stock for either style of Marble Apple. We have been told that the earliest possible delivery for Marble Apples from these vendors will be in JUNE at the earliest. If you find availability from another store please let us know. PLEASE NOTE: Especially for East coast and West coast schools that stay open through June,: if you do not order your Marble Apples early in the season (before March or April) there is a good chance you will not get them as ALL of our vendors sell out BEFORE the end of the Midwest School Year which generally ends around the end of May. At this time we are taking advance orders for June/July/August shipment. Considering the backlog you would be wise to place your orders now for mid to late 2008. Please feel free to consult with us for possible substitutes as we have many, many alternative options that my work in the absence of your first choice. Pricing of our various apple products depends on availability and is subject to change at any time. And we do expect price increases with the upcoming shipments. Lastly, we regret that we are unable to provide discounted stock for any other promotional seller or Trophy shop at this time." |
