Please
Read! I'm basically a
one-man show and I do this for a hobby in
my spare time away from my real work. I
don't carry much inventory and most items
are "built to order" at this
point.
Depending on what you order, I usually
ship out items in the span of 4-8 weeks--
note that if you get in at the end of a
waiting list (or if I have a slowdown in
production or testing) it could take 8-10
weeks or longer depending on the snag. Please
do NOT order from me if this is going to
be a problem for you!
Many of my kits have now been shipping
for over five years. Unlike the "old
days" when the kits were first
introduced, I might only get one order a
month for some kits (even less on
others!). I will generally let those kits
'batch up' to at least 3-4 orders before
building them, so that can make for a
longer wait. (If I just built and sold
out a batch, it might be 3-4 months for a
slow seller like the Tempest Multigame or
SW/ESB kit to get produced again.) On average
the wait is about 8 weeks. Still, it's an
average-- around half will go out sooner
than eight weeks, around half will go out
later than 8 weeks.
Some popular items (like the
MultiJAMMA) are built in larger numbers
and will usually have shorter leadtimes.
Seldom will orders ship out in less
than 4 weeks-- it takes that long to get
received in, placed in my order queue and
to get looked at. Larger orders will
usually take longer to fill. I ship once
a week on Fridays.
Sometimes I can help out with
"rush" orders (depending on the
kit and backlog situation). E-mail me if
you need something in particular or want
to know my best guess at leadtimes on
something. In general I can 'rush' a kit
for an extra $25 with about a two-week
turn around. The fee basically pays me to
take time on a weekend and hand pick the
parts set to build a single kit instead
of doing them in batches. This is more
time consuming and less efficient for me,
hence the extra fee.
When new kits are introduced I tend to
get bogged down and things take longer.
I'm closed for a week around
Thanskgiving, two weeks at
Christmas/NewYears, usually a week or two
around Tax time, and occasionally due to
weather. Once in a while I'm even gone on
vacation, to tradeshows, or on business
trips. I post updates on the front page
of this website if there are any problems
or slowdowns.
Please note that when sending me any
sort of package (for repairs or
otherwise), USPS "Delivery
Confirmation" is not
sufficient to show I have received the
package! Delivery Confirmation just means
they scanned the package when they
delivered it somewhere! If you want
proof of delivery you must send the
package by UPS/FedEx/DHL with
"signature required" or as a
"certified" USPS parcel. We
tend to have the "mail-person of the
day" here and have had two
"Delivery Confirmed" packages
not make it here (although they were
"delivered" somewhere!) in
2004, so if you use that method of
shipment it is at your own risk.
FedEx/UPS/DHL is strongly
preferred! (Zero lost packages through
any of those carriers in the last ~8
years.)
Thanks!
