Welcome to our forum.
My dealer said that a June or July Costco order has priority over my May 11th order. My dealer said this, not me!
Did Bullfrog ever shut during Corona? That’s BS that Costco orders took priority. Should be first order in first order out. I get delays are happening but a lot of it is out of everybody’s hands but if they prioritized Costco orders I would be pissed.

I see it with some manufacturers, not all but some including one I carry. Thankfully for me I was able to do a bigger order but they are staggering orders so everybody gets something. I think they are being fair about it. You ever get those Wellis tubs in?

Well, as expected, my Bullfrog M7 that was scheduled for delivery Aug 7th (ordered mid-May) is not in production yet and I’m now hearing September. I’ll feel pretty fortunate if it actually arrives in September.
So some poster (JoesTub) in the hottubforum ordered a A8L mid June and got it yesterday...ahh I ordered mine mid may and am still waiting?? They told him when he ordered it 10 weeks and he got it on schedule...when I ordered mine they told me August 7th then said at least mid September. Does this guy know someone or something I don't? Wow...I guess I'm a nobody...lol

That guy May have ordered that particular tub but they probably had that color combo on order already with probably another 1000 or so tubs on order.
