Warning: My biggest supplier ghosted me right before a huge order

I was in my office in Phoenix when the email came through saying they were closing up shop, leaving me with 500 units to source in 48 hours. I called every contact I had and ended up paying 15% more to a local guy, but we shipped on time. Has anyone else had to completely pivot a supply chain in under two days?

Man, that's brutal, but like burns.ruby said, getting it done is a total win.

Holy crap, 48 hours?! That's insane. I can't even imagine the panic of finding that many units that fast. Paying 15% extra must have hurt, but honestly getting it done at all is a huge win. Major props for pulling that off.
