Once upon a time I really looked forward to the new items posting at FT..........as of late nothing much arriving there peaks my interest . I'm pretty sure it's me.

The new arrivals are in a bit of a slump lately 
Not really to much interesting stuff.
I'm having good luck on China deliveries for a change 2 orders made Sept 1 are in Customs in Canada all ready
I feel your pain Mike, The "Restocking" that turns into weeks & months before it even leaves China can really suck!

I expect FT does not keep anywhere near the inventory on hand they post. They do a "just in time" with obtaining from a third party vendor then shipping it out to you. If their vendor is slow or out of stock, your order sits until it is filled on the vendor's side. The next day stuff is likely their only in house inventory. It's a good sales model as you don't have to invest in inventory you might never sell, but it comes at the expense of slow fulfillment. They ain't Amazon.
Oh, I am sure that is their model. Most anything "new" says "Delivery in 5 Business days" or whatever. I am OK with that, and I understand that delays are beyond their control.
They initiated the support ticket and said " For your information, it is better to choose an item which shows on our website as “ships next day” thus we can ship it soon." That just feels like they are blowing smoke up my ..... Simply tell me it is delayed, virtually nothing newly listed on their site is “ships next day” so telling me "it is better" is like saying, dont bother ordering anything newly listed, wait a few weeks until we show it in stock, which on most items is never because they are simply doing JIT.
I know it is JIT, so just simply tell me the vendor was late, sorry, we are working on it.
gonna be a long day!
I hope so, I've got a LOT I want to get done today, I just hope I can hold out long enough to get er done.
Well now I've got to get one! If I like it and end up ordering a bunch I'll blame it on Steamer and you when the wife asks, "what's this stuff you bought this time?"
Prayer's for all those in the path of this storm and all those who were already impacted and in the last one. I just don't know what else to say other then you're in our thoughts and prayers. If you can get out of there, please do and stay safe.
I left school over forty years ago, what I was able to retain is what folks will get, hopefully it doesn't bother them too much but there is always that teacher who goes nuts........
Well I'm not getting anything done sitting here, time to pry my .... from the chair and get back at it, later.
I pray that those who can leave the Florida peninsula will, and those who can't can at least make it to a shelter. I'm even praying for the complete idiots I saw on TV this morning that decided to "Just Ride It Out" in their homes.
If the storm strengthens in intensity as it reaches warmer waters just before landfall, as is predicted, I fear there will be many lives lost senselessly.

Got all the outside pots inside the screen room and up against the house.
Tomorrow will bring the glass from the outside table into the house and then drag in those heavy as heck chairs. (if it looks like I'll need to)
Both propane tanks filled for the grill. Plenty of water and non-perishables (always).
Will fill up both bath tubs at the last minute (if I need to).
Cat cage at the ready.

Done and re-wicked what I use most.
