Typicall lead time is 8-12 weeks, I'm closer to 12-16 week as of now due to the Black Friday sale, 35+ and 1/2 of those are sets. I'm hoping to get the lead times down if I ever get caught up but I went into this with 40 orders and have yet to get caught up. I guess that's a good problem to have.
Again, my products are essentially a custom bumper at a mas production price, they are all put together and welded by myself in house and built to order, the cons with this are going to be the lead times! The benefits are being able to customize your bumper how you want it and not settle.
I have been trying to get help since I started but the pride I take in every bumper that leaves my shop has made it nearly impossible to find someone that has the same pride in their work. For me it is not about making a bunch of money and compromising on quality. That being said it is my goal to have bumpers in stock and ready to ship, unfortunately that will not happen until I can find some employees that that share the same attention to detail. I keep hearing that I have unrealistic expectations but I'm not willing to except that as a reason to compromise.
I do try to be upfront on the lead time and try my best to meet those times but at the end of the day it is still pretty much a 1 man operation.
Hopefully this clarifies the long wait times, I totally get that some are not willing to wait and I'm completely fine with that.
I also want to thank all the customers on here that have ordered bumpers despite the lead times! I understand it is not an easy thing to do, pay thousands of dollars up front and waiting several weeks for it to arrive. I am truly humbled and grateful for the amount of support I have received and continue to receive from this community!
It amazes me the amount of customers that I consider friends, I can't even count how many texts, calls and emails I receive when we were having the fires to check if my family and I were safe. Also the amount of holiday wishes I received over the holidays! This stuff is really unheard of these days in most other forms and groups.
