FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

DON’T YOU WISH YOUR NAIL SUPPLIER COULD SAY…

Dear Valued Customer;

99% OF DECEMBER ROOFING NAIL ORDER SHIPPED ON TIME or

96% OF JANUARY ROOFING ORDERS SHIPPED ON TIME

We take our position as the leading importer of roofing nails seriously, and we shipped almost all nail containers on time, spared no cost, had to use “Premium Freight” to accomplish this, but we met our goals and supported our customers. Never asked a customer to pay a freight surcharge to mitigate freight, and shipped at the agreed upon price.

Price Increase Announcement - ButtonKap Tools & Fasteners

Dear Valued Customer;

2020 was a year for the books, so thank you for your continued loyalty as a valued customer of ours. Several market factors have increased our costs over the past 12 months, including exchange rates as well as inflated steel and shipping costs. ButtonKap has done its best to mitigate much of these increases and keep them from being passed along, but cannot continue to do so.

Container Update

Dear Valued Customer;

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
"Deal with Honest and Transparent Partners"

Many nail importers have taken to “drastic actions” in order to curtail losses and are not meeting their obligations of shipping nail orders/ containers as contractually agreed to. These actions would appear to violate the basic tenants of an agreement between buyer and seller to deliver material at an agreed upon price at an agreed upon time.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Urgent Nail Update

Dear Valued Customer;

YOUR NAIL CONTAINER WILL BE LATE

If you placed an order in the early fall and your container was to ship in December it will most likely be 30 – 45 days late. If your order was to ship in January for March delivery it could be 6 to 8 weeks late, as the container shortage will mean many January loads wont ship, and then they will have to wait till the plants reopen On March 1. As we have been warning for the past few months the supply chain is broke. When orders get that far backed up for shipping , eventually the plants have to stop producing because they have no floor space to store additional production before shipping. It is finite.  Please click the link to the two articles published in the Journal of Commercial , the Trade publication for global shipping.
