Dymo SAP upgrade continues to cause delays in distribution
The big upgrade of Newell Rubbermaid’s (owner of Dymo) systems to SAP is still causing supply issues for the distribution channel in the UK.
The upgrade is designed to move many separate computer systems into one integrated system, which from the channels point of view will hopefully lead to shorter delivery times and better inventory management.

Discontinued: Dymo Label Manager 450D
The Dymo LabelManager 450D has now been officially discontinued. The top of the range machine has now been replaced by the new fancy touch screen Label Manager 500TS model, although this is quite a bit more expensive.
You might also want to take a look at the new LM420P as a replacement – it’s certainly cheaper than the old LM450, but it can’t print on 24mm tapes, and is handheld rather than desktop – If you need either of those you’re stuck with the LM500TS…
Why don’t you ship Dymo orders to Jersey anymore?
Jersey has recently changed the customs requirements for parcels, adding extra paperwork and costs.

We are still happy to ship to Guernsey (and the rest of the EU) though.
