2025 Price Increase
Time flies! It’s already that time of year again, when manufacturers send out their annual pricing. Camfil has already sent notifications for a 3% increase. We have not yet received notices for GFS or AFX. Get stocked up before they hit. Hopefully, the inflation will take a turn soon.
There are no known back-orders at this time. Lead times are running as expected with 3-5 business days average lead for most products and up to 1-2 weeks for most non-stock products.
If your order is time sensitive, shoot us an email to confirm the lead. It may take up to 24 hours to get a lead time from the manufacturer (typically we can have an answer within the hour).
LEAD TIMES: 11/20/2024 Updates
Lead times are not set in stone. They are the manufacturer’s best estimate. With that said, here are current average leads for the most popular products.
- Accordions: Standard leads run 24 hrs to 1 week average.
- GFS Poly: unavailable; replaced with The Wave
- XFP bag filters: typically stocked, 3-5 business days; large quantities may take up to 2 weeks. High demand item!
- Wave: pads are 2-3 days, rolls may run up to 2 weeks (standard leads).
- Floor paper: average lead is typically 3-5 business days but could extend up to 3 weeks depending on quantity.
- Intakes & CDM: Average lead is 3 days to 1 week.
- 217-010: tacky, 16x20x1″, 4-6 weeks *non-stock item
- 217-014: tacky, 24x24x1″, confirm inventory. High demand item!
- Fiberglass: in stock or available with 1-2 weeks lead.
- Supra Paint Collector: we dumped this product due to unreliable and ridiculously long leads. Switch to The Accordion!
Seriously, it’s worth adding a filter support if that means you can get a better filter that lasts longer, costs less, and is readily available.

possible delays in LTL deliveries LTL Delays
Getting an LTL carrier to show-up isn’t always as easy as scheduling the collection. If the route doesn’t have a driver running it regularly, your cargo may have to sit a couple of days (and this could happen enroute as your cargo travels across the country).
Once again, plan ahead. If you require LTL delivery, allow for enough lead to get it picked up and delivered. *Note: lead times provided indicate the time required for the manufacturer to have your order ready to be shipped. LTL pick-ups have been increasingly difficult to get as of July, 2023. (Much more reliable in summer 2024!)
Be aware when ordering products requiring an LTL carrier that the driver may call to ensure someone is present to accept the delivery. Answer the phone! If you don’t answer the phone, the driver may not attempt delivery and the terminal may start charging fees to hold your property and/or return it to sender – either or both actions will ultimately cost more $$.
