Grates a bit though to think of that hard earned green earning interest in someone else's bank account while we have nothing to show for it. Maybe I'm nit-picking.

Bit of a negative view there...

We require payment in full at the time of purchase because we don't have abundant stock on hand. So supply is ordered based on incoming orders, which means your money isn't sitting around earning interest, and we aren't sitting here smoking fat cigars and giggling to ourselves (which is the mental image that popped into my head when I read this comment)--we're turning around and pouring every dollar we make back into the company. To further R&D, to better wages and benefits for employees, to better suppliers, better products, faster times, opening a new factory, buying dozens of new machines and stations, computers, designing a new website....

So yeah. Everything we get is being utilized to better the company, to try to make things better so that next year, we don't have these long lead times, and we're set to go.

Justin sent me the tracking number on Monday and he told me it should be there in two days (today was Veteran's day so the post office was closed). I ordered it from him on thursday, I feel like I just hit the jackpot!
	Light and darkness, you cannot have one without the other. To achieve equilibriem you must be in harmony with both; the path between. Last Edit: 1 week 3 days ago by greyjediDude. The administrator has disabled public write access. The following user(s) said Thank You: BZArcher

I feel like one thing that would stop a lot of the complaining is getting rid of the "5-10 business day" estimate for being in the "shipped" status on Etsy. I know it's an estimate, but I haven't heard of a single order that got their shipped notification and had their saber shipped within that time frame. They should just leave it as "your saber will ship towards the end of the posted lead time"'

Just a suggestion, not a complaint.
