Halcyon Backed Up?

[Tekkie]

Hey,
I ordered my Halcyon Pioneer 27 today and my LDS said to expect it in by MAY because they were having production problems. Does anyone know anything about this? Two months seems kind of long to me.

Thanks
Tekkie

Call www.fifthd.com or www.extreme-exposure.com They are directly linked with halcyon and will probably have what you want in stock.Your LDS is a lot further down on the food chain than EE or fifthd.

Production problems?? Man...on a BC ?? WOW!

 

[Tekkie]

Sorry,
I didn't mean production problems I ment that my LDS said they were still backed up from X-mas.

A Halcyon Pioneer 27... Just like you. I ordered it from http://www.fifthd.com and they had them in stock. It should be sent on Monday.

No stocking problem... And certainly no manufacturing problem.

The only problem there might be is that the supply may have a hard time keeping up with the demand. Halcyon's tripled in size in the past three years, right in the middle of the dive industry seeing a gigantic 40% (!) sales slump this year.

Interesting, eh? Get your wing directly from the source... Extreme Exposure (the sister company of Halcyon) or Fifth Dimension, the dive shop that is owned by Andrew G., a GUE instructor and chairperson.

So they increased from 400 to 1200?

 

[SeaJay]

Not sure.

How many wings is your company selling?

My LDS had one in stock today if you want to order from them:

Sea the World Scuba Center 248-478-6400. Owner's name is Craig.

I sense some jealousy here

 

[CincyBengalsFan]

No jealousy....Just putting things into perspective. I have a fairly new dive shop. As of June 1 of this yr. it will be two yrs since I opened the doors. I increased by about 500% over last yr. However....When your new....You have absolutely no where to go but up...Halcyon is small..very very small. Unlike the big guys who have been around 30-50+ yrs. The big guys have pretty much leveled out. Hope Halcyon keeps going up. But there prices are 100% nuts for what you get. NUTS.

But it's always nice to see some Loyal divers to a company. That's pretty rare these days.

Hell, I can't even find a loyal dive instructor.
