If you are reading this, chances are you are in the market for a new appliance. Maybe your washer is holding on to dear life before it “goes,” or that your range is on its last legs but that quick fix has saved you a little bit of time.
Whatever the story is, appliance shopping has been at an all-time high. Business has been booming, but what about stock?
The Evening News is panicking you--the media are reporting massive delays for all types of appliances. “Months of delays,” the reports will say. The fear of your order never being fulfilled has caused a panic in the world. Is it best to assume that the refrigerator of your dreams will never come in?
Not surprisingly, the media may be exaggerating just a bit.
Popular luxury brands such as Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Viking, along with mid-range appliances from Bosch, GE Café, and KitchenAid, are still facing product delays and shortages. However, there are great equivalents available from other brands that may be able to satisfy your needs.
Miele, Thermador, GE Monogram, GE, Whirlpool, and Frigidaire have several appliances that are either in stock or have a much quicker turnaround time than the brands above. You may have to settle for a dishwasher with less features than you originally wanted, or a refrigerator that does not have an ice and water dispenser on the door, but there are certain models that you can get delivered and installed right away.
If you’re willing to compromise, there may not be any pain at all.
Marsillios is part of a Buying Group consisting of several New England appliance dealers, all of which are ordering in bulk from manufacturers. Hundreds of appliances are then being delivered to our Group’s main warehouse.
Because of high demand, backorders have piled up. All our sales professionals have access to the inventory reports in both our own and the Group’s warehouses, and we should be able to tell you in real-time when you can expect to receive your new appliance based on tracking dates.
It pays to check in with your sales consultant on the make and model of your choice, and they can inform you on the availability of the product. It’s also worth noting that inventory changes may be outrunning website updates, so call us and we’ll let you know right away if what you’re looking for is an in-stock item.
Despite global supply chain issues, deliveries--and package deals--are better than you think! Give Marsillios a call at 203-951-5264, and we can walk you through what to expect.
