Also, for anyone considering a purchase: my turnaround time for new orders is currently 20 days. Because of the issue with my manufacturer, I am just finishing assembling orders placed in December/January. I expect to have all outstanding orders shipped within two weeks.
Any updates on this? Hoping my December order arrives any day now.
Hey OgNasty,
All December orders have shipped, along with early January orders. I'm going to PM you now to get your info so I can dig up the tracking number.
All remaining Jan/Feb/March orders are assembled and behind glass minus the four engraved plates. I have plates here I could use, but I've already used up all of the ones that were in the best condition, which was around 25% of my order. I ordered a new batch a month ago, and they shipped late last week, so I expect them here any day now. I am very anxiously awaiting them, and I was told by my manufacturer that each piece was quality inspected this time. I was charged a premium for this.
I'm out the money on the unusable parts, but I'm more concerned with delivering the best quality product possible. For everyone waiting, it will be just a week or so longer. I'll leave another update when I receive the package. Just know that the delay is only because I know the quality can be a little better, and I think that everyone would prefer to wait a little longer if it means receiving a better quality product. I have all boxes addressed and ready to go.
For future reference, I will not be pre-selling any more items. I will be sure to have all parts on hand before collecting any payments. I've learned that when dealing with multiple suppliers for so many different parts, that delays are inevitable. I'm doing my best I can promise everyone that.
