I want to update everyone on the next shipment of GunPla into Europe. For anyone who doesn’t know, goods ship in from Japan to the European distributor in Italy, who then distribute out to the relevant retailers around Europe.
Once the goods arrive with the European distributor then they have to unload everything that has arrived before logging it into their system. Only after that will they be able to communicate with the suppliers as to what items they have ordered are available.
The next shipment is due in between the 1st and 3rd of December.
I believe the process, in its barest form would be:
- Goods arrive
- Goods are logged into the distributors system
- Invoices are confirmed with retailers
- Invoices are paid
- Goods are shipped to retailers
- Retailers get and unpack goods
- Retailers update stock on their systems
Usually from invoices paid to the goods arriving with retailers in the UK the lead time is about a week or so. It is however dependant on customs etc. as the goods have to pass through and any queries there can delay the delivery.
By my reckoning I think that is likely to make it the last shipment that people will be able to get on the shelves this side of Christmas. So keep your eyes peeled for all the goodies hitting the shelves in 2 to 3 weeks time.
