SPFG, Supreme Picture Framing God
On this lovely spring day, I was placing an order for 30 ft of a certain frame.
The manufacturer just told me it is "out of stock" till end of August....
When something is out of stock for over 4 months, does it really count as still in production and not (temporarily) discontinued??
The POS, LifeSaver, tracks when a moulding is discontinued or not. But obviously, the manufacturer in this case just kept it as is and we have to run around and call 2 customers and tell them to either wait 4.5 months (assuming it will be really ONLY that long) or come back and select other frames...
I am really tempted to treat this as discontinued and throw away the sample.
