Volume Remains Heavy and High
Filed under: General, Collapse — admin @ 3:59 pm
"I’ve just been informed that Mountain House is expecting their ship times to exceed 12 weeks by the end of April for #10 cans. They are receiving huge quantities of orders from the US Government and will now start limiting their #10 can production.

Existing orders are still taking 4 - 6 weeks from Mountain House, so nobody panic. I expect to fill all of our year units, and the 60 day units within the next 30 days or less.

I saw this one coming a mile away. This means that you and I (the little people) will start seeing less and less availability for food stuffs and longer and longer ship times.

My efforts to reduce order volume were just in the nick of time, but it’s not working too well. Volume remains heavy and high. I will buy as much stock as I can, but I strongly suspect that this will be “it” for sometime to come (probably forever).

I’ve been very busy filling our back orders for Mountain House stock. I am now shipping mid-March orders for SINGLE can shipments (orders I ship from here), please check your email for information and tracking numbers. If you have ordered case quantity Mountain House items, these ship from Mountain House directly (read the shipping times page for current times).

We are totally sold out of several items and do not expect any more of these for at least 30 days (Oriental Spicy Chicken and now, Chicken Ala King). Substitutions are being offered from available stock I have on the shelf.

Email is PREFERRED. It’s the only way I can get anything done right now and blocked calls from callers is still a major problem. If you don’t hear from me, this is probably what’s going on. "

They're going to protect their own behinds before they even give the appearance of helping us protect ours.

I guess the hoarding law does not apply to the government. They would not think twice about coming and taking my 4 month supply and tell me NO hoarding.

Awww, I'm sure they're buying it for when we all need it. It's for US.

This RR site is so amazing! Thank you for all the info, so many of you are constantly watching for. This thread is a perfect example!

I may not be able to stock up much, but just to know what could be coming is so helpful. This month I was able to buy some dried beans and some canned food to set aside, something I haven't normally done. I plan to continue doing this when possible.

Many thanks for the info!

(Shame on you government)

Well knowing this has really made me want to step up my hoarding... haha... it really makes me feel like getting out the credit card & making an order.... I'd rather have the food on my shelf for my family & worry about the credit card later especially if it's all getting ready to collapse....

I get credit card offers for 0% interest for a year. I take them, and use them for anything that I want to buy, and put that money away for safe keeping. When the bill comes due (i.e. the terms are up), then I just pay it off.
