MakerSlide orders: Are we there yet?

[jay_b]

H there,

I was wondering when we will be able to order some makerslide extrusions? It has been sold out for some days and now it doesn't even appear at the makerslide online store. I need 1 x 200mm, 1 x 375mm and 2 x 700mm (plus some other components).

Thanks

JB

I release manageable weekly production batches so I can keep my 7 day lead time. I just released a whole bunch of material today and it sold out in under two hours. The best way to get notified of production releases is to follow me on twitter (@buildlog).

Wow that's amazing. Could you please tell me what its your time zone? I logged in at 00h but everything was sold out already.

[bdring]

I am in the central time zone, but that does not mean much. I release the batch it as soon as I can. It happened to be today at about 7:30 am central time.

When it sells out fast, it means I can get started sooner and release another batch sooner. I need a decent amount to feed the cut optimizer. My current yield is 99.3% utilization I never imagined it would be that efficient when I started this.

Bart,
I'm wondering if you have quit your day job yet? Seems to be taking off here. I find myself in a similar situation but it is a difficult decision to make.

What's the typical lead time for shipping an order? I sent mail in Jan, but still haven't received my order...

[bdring]

Lead time is typically 7 days. I don't see an order for you. Please send me an email directly at bdring@buildlog.net to straighten it out.

Mail sent Friday evening. Did you receive it?

[bdring]

I received it and cut your materials. It was not a store order and that initially through me off. It will ship out mid week.
