I tried to warn retailers to please not PRESELL at the IPCPR and then again about 2 months ago knowing that no account was going to receive their entire initial order - everyone received a partial shipment and will be receiving more each month until their initial order is satisfied. About a month ago we transmitted to each retailer how many boxes each month they would be receiving so they could plan accordingly.
That being said, I can understand how they may have missed my warnings and ultimately it is my responsibility to get every retailer their order. The problem is there are only so many boxes and I am not going to rush production possibly sacrificing quality or to run out of ready to use leaf just to collect more money in the short term. That isn't saying we won't run out of ready leaf at some point, but I know the numbers, I know what is ready, I know what should be ready when so I am planning accordingly...
My biggest problem right now isn't the retailers who are accounts, but the ones that now wish to be accounts... there are regretfully a LOT of great retailers we simply do not have the capacity to open yet. :<
