I have rheumatoid arthritis coming on.

 

Obviously I need an XPG

 

Ordered one in August with a one month wait from a good supplier that advertises on this website.

 

They have revised their delivery and have now stated mid December, now this isn't a complaint, but is this the industry standard now?

 

I didn't think I was asking for something especially niche!

Pretty much. Stihl have taken their heated handle models off the order list. As for delivery dates there hit and miss. Husqvarna being the worst. We don't know if we're getting it till we get the invoice a day prior. Still waiting for stuff ordered last year. I know in some cases that wiring etc was made in Ukraine which hasn't helped matters

China had a lot of issues beginning of the year with their zero Covid policies.

 

A major issue short and medium term I can see now is the £ to $ exchange rate. It hit £1 = $1.08 yesterday - that is the lowest since 1985.

 

If it falls below $1.05 then that is the lowest in history. It may bounce back up but we could live in a world soon where the $ is higher than the £. That would almost stop us from importing some products.

 

Almost everything we buy is in the $ so in effect it puts prices up by 25% on top of all the other price rises that have gone on.
