(For your information, Everything is Spiritual is currently out of stock in our warehouse. Stock will be available within the next two weeks and the discount offers will still apply to backorders if you want to order up now).

We realise that we still have some outstanding issues that are causing you problems. Our Operations Director Mick Goodman has supplied the following update:

% Discount Update
"We have been able to fix approximately 80% of the backorder lines affected by the 0% discount problem with the help of our consultants. The remaining 20% we have to fix manually and we are currently working through that process now. We have seen a significant drop off in the occurrence of the problem over the last two weeks, although it will continue to recur with reduced frequency until we have manually updated each of the remaining backorder lines.

We have put considerable effort into resolving the root cause of the problem and are increasingly confident that the discount data we are adding is correct and will not result in the dreaded 0%! As we are normally working some months ahead, the benefit will increasingly be apparent on new titles over the coming weeks.

Backorder Lists
You will probably have noticed that your Christian Art Christmas order appears on your backlist print out. We are aware that some find this helpful whilst others would prefer not to see thee (these) products on their regular backorder lists. We are not able to make this customer specific so have taken the view that it's better to include the extra information for those who would like it than exclude it. We are also exploring how we can resequence the backorder list top make it more helpful and also the inclusion of the discount you would receive to give better visibility of potential discount errors." - Mick Goodman

Come and see us at CBC

STL Distribution will be exhibiting at the new look CRE/CBC next week at Sandown Park, Esher. This will be a great opportunity to touch base with many of our customers.

So we would be delighted to see you on our stand (GV25) and to talk over some of the issues affecting our trade at present and more particularly what we at STL have to offer. The organisers have kindly set aside a venue called Tingle Creek so that trade folk can spend time together away from the crowds attending CRE. So please do contact Richard McChesney to set up a meeting.

This is going to be a very different CBC this year, and we’re keen to make it work for your benefit. As we have a trade show in the middle of a consumer show, we’ve taken a much smaller stand as we’ve no need or desire to promote ourselves to the retail customer.

But we hope you can find us...and we look forward to seeing you there.
