I have been thinking about this for the last week or so. Looking at the lead time on several popular products around here, it appears that that the lead time is somewhere in the 2-8 week timeframe. Understanding that some of the extended lead times are on some of the more popular items (Dream Hammocks, most things from Warbonnet etc...). My question is that if the demand is there, then why don't these vendors grow their business instead of making their customers wait? I don't want this thread to turn into a "order what you need sooner" or "this is not Amazon" thread. But it is more of a physiological discussion on business, and the rules of supply and demand. Traditionally if you are struggling with demand, someone else will step up to fill that demand. I understand that there are a ton of unique factors in the Hammock industry, but for the most part running a business is still running a business..... why not invest and grow?
