My local Purina distributer here in central Louisiana has been having difficulty receiving my AQ order as well. They also have it as a special order and make that order biweekly. I'm not sure if this is beneficial to any others but I make my order 300,400 & 500 and once I receive it, I wait a short period and make another order which offsets any delays that may happen as we are seeing now. I continue the process keeping a steady supply of AQ on hand but monitor closely not to have the food more than a couple of months.
