I dont seem to be getting a clear answer on this matter. last update was really vague something about not allowing time for powder coating?? when will we be recieving these body lifts???? or if they will not be ready anytime soon please let us know so we can plan for this. thanks
Usually better done via PM, but since you asked pubicly, I'll respond in turn, even though it's not my product... He STARTED taking orders nearly 8 weeks ago (taking your word for it), but as he said, he was taking orders for a few weeks, then when he had enough orders, he would place orders for everything... Basically like a group buy, and the lead time typically starts after the GB closes, not when it opens...
The thing about powder coat is that the sheet metal shop is making them (lead time of 2-2.5 weeks), and they're also getting powder coated (which is another week), but he was lumping that together, because we hadn't gone over it in detail in several months... He was thinking 2 weeks until he got them, rather than 2 weeks, then 1 week, then a few days shipping... I just got the call, today, that the brackets are done, so tomorrow, I will take them to the powder coater, where they can start their ~week, then I'll put them on a pallet and ship them to him, which will take another 3 days or so... I would expect brackets to show up to him right around new years... I don't know what the ultimate long pole in the tent is, but I suspect it's the sheet metal (per SOP)...
So in short, this is not a matter of "will it be here now or in 6 months..." It's a matter of will it be week after next, or in 3 weeks... Again, not my product, not my dime, but give the guy a break... While it's a proven product, the supply chain, shipping, etc. is mostly new...
