0 commentsMore than 4 months after Replogle Globes completed the move of their manufacturing facilities to Indianapolis, our World Globe Universe customers continue to be affected
by processing delays on Replogle Globe orders. In spite of their ongoing
efforts to rebuild their inventory levels, Replogle continues to experience
product shortages which result in shipping delays. Replogle continues to quote
a 3 to 4 week lead time on all globe orders.
We continue to monitor this situation and to work closely
with Replogle Globes. At this time it is not clear if Replogle will be able to
build up their inventory reserves prior to the start of the 2011 holiday
shopping season.
As a precautionary measure; we urge our World Globe Universe
customers who are considering giving a Replogle Globe as a gift, to place your
order well in advance so you can assure delivery before Christmas. At the
present time we are recommending a minimum of 8 weeks before Christmas.

0 commentsOur World Globe Universe customers continue to be affected by processing delays on Replogle Globe orders. In spite of their ongoing efforts to return to pre move inventory levels, Replogle Globes continues to experience inventory shortages on many of their products. Replogle is currently quoting a 3 to 4 week lead time on all globe orders. Our experience is somewhat better on in stock items, with products typically shipping within 10 days to 2 weeks. Unfortunately, many Replogle Globes continue to be out of stock and are subject to the 3 to 4 week lead time for production and shipping.
Special order items, such as globe upgrades and replacement parts are currently experiencing a 4 to 8 week lead time for production and shipping.
We continue to work closely with Replogle Globes and hope the inventory shortages will be alleviated by midsummer.

0 commentsReplogle Globes, a division of Herff Jones Inc., announced today that they have completed the transfer and installation of their production equipment at their new Indianapolis location and that they have resumed production at their new facility.
At the moment, inventory availability continues to be below optimal levels but Replogle hopes to remedy this situation over the upcoming weeks.
How does this action affect you, our World Globe
Universe customer? The move of Replogle's manufacturing operations has taken longer than originally anticipated and product availability continues to be an issue. At the current time, Replogle orders are taking from 2 to 4 weeks to ship as opposed to the 3 to 5 day processing that was typical before the move. We will continue to monitor this situation and will provide updates as Replogle resolves their production issues.

0 commentsOn March 25, 2011, Herff Jones announced the relocation of
the Replogle Globes manufacturing and production equipment from their Broadview, Illinois location
to the Herff Jones’ facility in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
How does this action affect you, our World Globe
Universe customer? The announced manufacturing relocation is expected to delay
shipment of Replogle Globe orders by as much as two weeks. Replogle anticipates
being back in operation at their new location within two weeks and hope to
restore inventory to pre move levels within a few weeks after full production
resumes.
