Sehr geehrte Kunden,
In den letzen Wochen und Monaten haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen in China und auch
weltweit so zum Negativen entwickelt, dass wir uns nicht mehr in der Lage sehen,
Endkunden zu bedienen. Die Verfügbarkeit von Ware ist schlecht und kaum zu prognostizieren,
viele wichtige Hersteller verkaufen Ihre Produkte nur noch selbst und verbieten uns daher
den Verkauf auf unserer Website, der Versand ist extrem teuer geworden,
die damit verbundenen Regularien (Markengeräte können oft gar nicht mehr verschickt werden,
Akkus sind ein Problem, etc.) so streng, dass wir bei großen Teilen des Sortiments Schwierigkeiten haben,
diese überhaupt in annehmbarer Zeit und sicher an unsere Kunden ausliefern zu können.
Wir haben uns daher nach über 15 Jahren schweren Herzens dazu entschließen müssen,
ab sofort nur noch Großbestellungen für Wiederverkäufer abzuwickeln.
Danke für Ihr Verständnis und alles Gute
Das CECT Shop Team
