John Deere Parts Shortages & Order Delays
Updated November 11, 2021:
John Deere, like many worldwide companies, is feeling the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and some current labor issues. While John Deere Company itself is positioned for sustainability and longevity, they rely on hundreds of partners worldwide to manufacture their parts. Because of this, there can be some unforeseen delays on parts availability.
In addition to parts availability, the trucking and transportation industry is in dire need of workers and that has caused some delays in receiving some of our parts orders from John Deere. What was generally a 2 day lead time for in stock parts (not current on hand at our shipping warehouse) has, in some cases, turned into 2 to 7 business days (or more in rare cases) on receiving our stock order to fill your online orders. All John Deere dealers serviced by the Parts Distribution Center in Milan, IL are feeling the same effects of these delays! If you are in a “machine down” situation, we encourage you to contact your local dealer to order the part(s) for you in lieu of ordering your parts online.
We ask for your patience and understanding as we all navigate these challenging times. We are experiencing our high season for online orders and are shipping the complete orders in the sequence that we receive them.
