New machine delivery time?

... the joke is on you if by now you have not picked up another A4 copier supplier. I recommend the Toshiba e330AC, outstanding!

Shameless push...... LOL

I would not be overly pushing Toshiba for turnarount times. We have an order of 40 devices that was placed back in May, have not receieved any to date! We now are on the cusp of losing these customers to other competitors. Our sales team have been informed not to sell any more of this brand until we fulfil the backorders.

Its a real shit show out there right now!!

I'm sure all OEM's are having some trouble with fulfilling orders but no way in hell would I go with Toshiba. Would look at Canon or Kyocera before Toshita.

However, KM don't launch new model for successor, current i series is working over 4 years.

We were told black & white copiers would have the longest wait times for shipping and that has proven to be true.
KM has offered to ship us the same speed color model as a replacement at no additional cost, but not all of our customers have taken that offer.
I have been waiting 10 months for a C300i that I sold to a customer. We were told the C360i was readily available, but good luck on the C300i.
Has anyone else been taking them up on the color replacement for the B&W models?

Isn't that what copier dealers have always done? Order inventory based on our prediction of future sales?

Usually for the next 6 months i did that. Currently i am placing orders for the next 3 years.

This is normal. Plus lack of them. Next generation I expect some more 3-4 years after.

... I rec'd 3x e330AC this week that I ordered about two months ago. They are now all installed.

I took orders for six more today.

In this market, local inventory is king! Price and features are second.

As of right now....still have C250I machines on backorder from November & December 2021. One customer has bailed already. One has a loaner we aren't charging for, except supplies. They are about ready to bail, but nothing else we can do. Konica says it's on the 'priority list', but pretty sure that's what they are telling everyone.

Generally KM would launch " e " series or similar models after 2-3 years of all new machines debut.
