We will be shipping right up to 1pm on Friday December 22nd. But for any serious chance of a package arriving to you before Christmas I would get the order in by 2pm on December 20th.
We will be closed on Christmas Eve (a Sunday) and Christmas Day. We will be back at it on the 26th shipping daily up to the 30th. We will be closed New Year's Eve and Day. .
All year we have been able to put off raising prices to the new tube contract prices, due largely to the fact that we averaged about 500 tubes in stock most of the year, the summer was slow also which helped us maintain large inventory numbers. With the mideast war and BF/Holiday sales our inventory numbers have been drastically depleted.
On 1/1/2024 we will transition over to the new contract tube prices on Elbit tubes as many other companies have already had to do. We put it off as long as we could with the reasons above.
I would mention that for almost 3 years now we have had NV units in stock and shipping out right away with no lead times. I doubt things will get back to crazy long lead times of 10-20 weeks again, but it's an election year, there is wars and rumors of wars and we have already been told by tube manufacturers to expect some delays in 2024.
We will do everything we can to maintain in stock inventory that is ready to ship to you immediately, as we have done for over 31 years now. If you want to beat the tube cost increase on Elbit tubes, you will need to finalize your purchase before midnight on 12/31
We appreciate your business Arfcom, and hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New year.
