Why aren't items always available the very next day?
Buildmate has access to the real time inventory levels of Scheltema's warehouse only. It does not have access to the real time inventory levels of other suppliers. Items presented on the website with 1 day lead times are items that our suppliers keep as stock items and so it is with a high degree of predictability that these items are available Next day. On the odd occasion there is insufficient stock to collect Next day you'll be notified of this after you place your order via email.
