BREAKING!!! Automakers CANNOT Get Parts! Berkey Filters on 2 - 3 week Backorder
Ordered a Berkey water filter on eBay today and spoke with the seller because they said they couldn't ship out right away like normal. It would be 2-3 weeks. She said that one of their suppliers stated that automakers have had to cease making certain cars because they cannot get any parts from Japan. The fact that the Berkey dealer went from an immediate ship situation to a 2-3 week backlog is also telling, especially since with the recent media blackout. When KI went out of supply, there had been much news in the media about it. No one has talked about contaminated water in the US, and yet they are swamped!

ummm....

No?

Now that they've discovered where all that radioactive saltwater went (back into the ocean) there won't be many ships sailing into Japanese waters for awhile. Like anywhere from a couple months to a couple hundred years. Because ships use seawater to cool their engines, and the water contaminates the engine rooms.

So the parts situation isn't going to be getting better for awhile.

I ordered a Big Berkey three-four weeks ago and was told it would be a four to five week ship from India. Hope it gets here soon. That was from a seller on ebay, so if they're coming from India, I don't get the automaker concern.

I bought replacement filters for My Berkey on e-bay Monday received them on Thursday.

Some Berkey dealers do not have inventory in stock but sell it anyway. I suggest using the ask seller a question before You buy it now. simply ask when can You ship this item before You purchase.
