Gibson00:
I ordered a new Arctic spa in mid-March '21.  Estimated delivery date was September.  We received an email about 2 weeks ago saying there would be at least a 1-2 month delay due to manufacturing delays, lack of parts, etc.  I don't really expect to receive it before the new year...

I think anyone who purchased a major brand and was told Oct-Dec for arrival is going to have their spa delayed until next year, at least that is what I am seeing/hearing from everyone I speak with, supply chain issues have progressively gotten worse over the past months and will probably continue for another 6+ months at least.

We will see, some manufacturers are doing a little better than others. I know that the ports on the west coast are still a mess so anything can still go wrong.

I have a friend who has an Island Grand Cayman on order. It was part of a stocking shipment to our dealer that was scheduled to arrive last July. Both of us put deposits on tubs in January. Mine was part of a stocking shipment due in to the dealer in March, it slipped to May and was installed May 20th. At that time, he was told that his tub had slipped to November. He checked with the dealer yesterday and they checked the production schedule with Artesian. They were told that the tub was still on schedule for delivery to the dealer for early November.

So some manufacturers have been able to keep schedules from further slipping.

Ya, at 11 months I would hope that one wouldn't slip any further than it already has, absolute worst case I've seen is about 7 months from ordering until arrival which is bad enough, couldn't imagine quoting out 12 months

Well it's been 10 months, prices are still up of course no surprises there but I'm still kind of surprised on how demand is still, it's not 'point & shoot' sales like it was during the middle of the shutdown but business is still really good.  What are ya'll seeing out there?
