|
Jonsered part ordering |

Per spike60 Bob = Ordered some Jonny parts through the Husky |
|
dealer portal and got a notation I'd never seen before: "SR |
|
Sales Dropship Only" Turns out that Husky has begun moving the |
|
Jonsered parts inventory to SR Sales, which is a company that |
|
specializes is selling "obsolete or slow moving parts" The whole |
|
thing is still in process and parts are hit or miss as to what |
|
parts are where. Still invoiced through my Husky account, but |
|
drop shipped from SR. I have no idea yet how this affects the |
|
Jonsered/RedMax distributors, but my assumption is that this |
|
will also apply to them. These parts aren't going to be kept in |
|
2 places. |
|
I don't know if everything will go over there or not. So, |
|
far most of what's there are parts for the 2150/2153 and |
|
2156/2159 families. But also some more recent stuff from the |
|
2253 and 2260 saws. Also the remaining 2165/2171 stuff that was |
|
not shared with the 2166/2172 X-torq saws. It's all still in the |
|
process of happening, so too early to draw conclusions. My guess |
|
is that most of it heads that way, other than a few of the chain |
|
brake oriented safety parts. We're only talking the Jonsered |
|
specific parts here, of course. The plastic stuff, the handles. |
|
All the internal parts that were shared with Husky will still be |
|
easy to get. |
|
More important than where it's going is the probability that |
|
this stuff sells out and there's no more on the way. Can't |
|
really get mad at Husky IMO. Jonsered was kind of left on their |
|
doorstep like an abandoned baby when Tilton went away. Jonsered |
|
sales dropped 90% under Tilton from about $20 million to $2 |
|
million. With mostly the same product as Husky. A similar fade |
|
took place everywhere else, so it's really a waste of time to |
|
point fingers at anyone. Sad though, ain't it? Awful lot of |
|
brands went away the last 10 years, with Dolmar/Makita soon to |
|
join them. |
