I've had a couple hundred sheets of 4x5 FP4+ on back-order from B&H for two weeks now. I see Freestyle lists 100 sheet boxes of HP5+ as on back-order and past due date.
I need at least a hundred sheets for a trip in May and my current stock is getting low. This FP4+ you're pedaling is like a drug - I start to get nervous when I'm running out! =)
When the price went up a few weeks ago people stocked up. This cleaned out the "In stock" inventory everywhere. Then the stores re-ordered, which cleaned out the distributors as well. It seems to take 6 weeks for the distributors to replenish from the UK.
So the result is it's out of stock in most places but floating across from the UK.

My order for a few hundred sheets of FP4+ at B&H was marked "In stock, order sent to warehouse" today! Anyone else waiting should be receiving theirs soon.

Sooooo ahhh...did they come? Looks to me like B&H is still back ordered a month later...not that I care because I have some in the freezer, but I am kinda nervously watching prices
