Monthly mill allocations for distributors?...........ugh.
So not sure what the Ali supply is like on the Coasts, but here in the middle it kinda sucks.............I threw a little wider net this time around for a RFQ..............the place quoted below is not one of my usual places, but I have ordered from them in the past 12-18 months.................The rest of yoos guys seein' this kinda thing too?
"Sorry David, we do not carry 7075 bar, and our 6061 bar stock is limited by mill monthly allocations. For this reason, we are unable to quote full bar to customers without a history of ordering specific bar sizes within the past 6 months. No quote.
Thank You,

One local mom and pop shop will honor prices for at least a week and if'n you order something that is outa stock, they'll still honor the quoted price when it hits their floor...........the rest are only 24-48hrs.................price is based on the time of delivery..........
