FACTORY IS BACK IN FULL PRODUCTION
9.10.21: Our BC Factory gas been completely restored to full operation in just a months time. Roasters are again being built at normal production times. But worldwide there continues to be logistic problems at all ports in the USA due to a backlog of Freight by Sea and increases. These delays can effect current shipments in transit by 6-8 weeks. Our June shipment shipped on 7.19.21 is still at Long Beach Port with an expected release time in mid to late October. Port authorities expect this issue to continue into the middle of 2022. So if custom ordering a roaster plan 4-5 months in advance or longer. If planning to by IN-Stock inventory do not delay as we are selling out of many sized roasters and restocking these are taking 3-4 extra months.
IMPORT & SHIPPING COSTS RISE ALMOST 500-1000%
Since January we have seen the cost of shipping by sea rise from our factories by up to 500% and now there are bidding wars for the highest bidder to get their shipment on a cargo ship. Therefore prices are even expected to get higher. Because of this extreme increase in costs as well as the damage to our factory in Henan we have been forced to raise prices effective immediately until further notice.
COVID UPDATE: SCHEDULING VISITS TO OUR FACILITY:
With the distribution of COVID Vaccines now widely available we have begun allowing scheduled visits for those that wish to see our products in person. All persons wanting to visit our facility must wear a mask and be fully vaccinated and sign a COVID Release form. Because we are a warehouse and not a showroom you will need to email us 2 weeks or more in advance to see if we have the products you would like to see in stock. Generally we will only do demos on the BC-5 roaster as that is the demo model we keep in shop. But if we have other roasters not yet crated we can show these during your scheduled visit. We can also show you demo grinders and some demo Single Serve equipment. We have a very limited inventory at present and most all roasters in transit are selling out before they arrive.
To schedule a visit email INFO@BCROASTERS.COM at least 2 weeks before you plan to visit. We require all visitors to be vaccinated & continue to wear a mask and do social distancing. COVID and its variants are still a threat to the USA and we require all to sign a COVID Release before a visit is scheduled.
SHIPPING & PARTS DURING COVID:
9.10.21: WorldWide there has become a shortage of parts. Therefore custom order of equipment not in stock make expect extra delays of 6-8 weeks added to standard build times of Roasters, Grinder and some other products.
SHIPPING:
Many of the shipping companies are still running behind on deliveries and as of May 21, 2021 FEDEX has added surcharges to all shipping (up to $30 surcharges for express shipping on each package) So plan ahead and order well in advance any parts or items you will need. We will not be shipping any parts EXPRESS or overnight until these surcharges are removed. Further there has become a world wide shortage of various parts used in the manufacturing of equipment. This has effected the production of Coffee equipment as well. Therefore there will be extra delays in custom ordered equipment. All in stock equipment can be shipped without delays.
