Yellow Locks -- anyone else out?

we've been low on them for a couple months now. we've just been stacking them up wherever we can and locking as much as we can as soon as customers come in and rent. every other store has the same prob, though maybe not as extreme as us. we've ordered them tons of times but the rattling boxes we receive in shipments are just candy.

i just found out the other day that our DM quit and the stores in the district have pretty much been on their own. so i'm not sure if it's because the DM quit and there's a lack of communicating those orders... OR is everyone else having trouble with ordering locks?

what's the deal on your end?

Actually, there was a CUT the other day about not restocking orders that were made through the POS and that the stores should balance their stocks.

No matter, my information probably isn't useful for you anyway 6_6 xD

I've complained about this a few times in posts on here recently. It's like this everywhere in my district. We have all of our PRP unlocked and taped up and still need more locks. I saw the CUT about stock balancing. My only question is: WITH WHO?

We've teetering on the brink of running out of yellow locks for the last few weeks.

And blu-ray locks are completely gone. Well... the locks, we have a zillion of. The clear cases that those locks go into, not so much.

There is an outlet store, but that manager says all the locks are used on the prp product ship him. Seems they keep their locks, I always shipped with locks, but no longer will.

We've been using blue locks for all the newer movies coming out...my DM said I was crazy for keeping them when they made us get rid of them about a year ago but I knew we would need them again eventually...I figure it's better to use those than to keep anything boxed up behind the counters or in the back room...I did call some closing stores that were outside of my district to get some yellow locks...they always seem to be swimming in them and UPS will usually get them there in a couple of days
