Regarding SWI50D-000160LF which we had previously informed you that the lead time for 3M7323 would be around 60 days, we have to regrettably informed you that the material will not be delivered to us on the estimated time. This event will also affect the first delivery of SWI50D-000160LF which will be made with 3M7323.
We issued our P.O. on 1st July 2015 and we intended to received the material around 15th August 2015. On 24th July 2015, we checked with 3M Thailand to confirm the date of arrival of the ordered material, they informed us that the material will be delayed. We found out that our P.O. has not been processed due to their faulty documentation process. We checked with numbers of other 3M dealers to see if they would have 3M7323 on stock, unfortunately none of the suppliers we have checked has it. Thus, we lost 24 days of our lead time. Although, we had been communicating with 3M Thailand between 1st July 2015 and 24th July 2015 regarding the status of our order, not once that this problem was brought up or discussed. We urge them to file the document on that day and processed our P.O. which they did accordingly but our order was delayed to 28th August 2015. As a proof, we requested 3M Thailand to submit a letter to explain the situation regarding this matter. The letter will be forwarded to SVI as soon as we receive it. We sincerely apologize for such absurd event.
To avoid part shortage, we would like to ask if SWI50D-000160LF can be delivered to SVI using the same material for the time being. The earliest that we can deliver SWI50D-000160LF using 3M7323 is on 7th September 2015 if the material is delivered to us on 28th August 2015.
