I am sure I am not the only one going a bit nuts counting the hours until I get my WEPS which is not due until Sept. It would be great if there was some sort of automated sytem one coud sign into to determine due date or get an update without plaguing the staff with individual emails.
I was thinking of making a youtube of me singing “I want my WEPS” to the tune I want my MTV… but my dog starts barking and whining everytime I sing. Maybe I’ll hum with the lyrics printed out.
Thank you for the chuckle first thing Monday morning I can tell you that they’re due in on the 29th. From there, QC happens and shipping starts. Then it’s just a matter of going in order number to get them all out. We’ve got extra staff on board to get them out the door a little quicker.
On the old webpage account system, my projected ship date was Sept 16. When I made a change to my order at the beginning of August, I was also told my ship date was Sept 16. Sooo- I guess my ship date is around Sept 16.
Being a machinist by trade and a machine builder and sourcing/project manager for highly complex machine tooling I know what it is like from all aspects of the trade and what it feels like when something goes wrong. On a machine you can make 1 mistake and set you back weeks and thousands of dollars. Planning and estimating jobs through a shop you can make a mistake setting you back months and multiple tens of thousands of dollars. Being in charge of major builds you can set back a year and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Anyone in t he trade get it, but those not in the trade sometimes don’t get how much work goes into manufacturing custom parts which is so much different than major production line consumer products manufacturing that people not in the trade associate all manufacturing with.
I would rather wait than need to send it back… edhead is right. A delay like this for something essentially custom-built is part of the process. It’s not like there’s a warehouse full of them. Another way to look at this: by November several knives will actually need to sharpened!
I’m hoping the date the gave me was a ‘no later than’ and maybe have it sooner. :blink:
I was lucky to get mine when I did - and I can tell you that it is worth the wait guys. And I don’t mean to rub anything in, either. Trust me - the minute you get your WEPS, you’ll completely forget about the wait you had and the conversation here! B)
We’re shipping as fast was we can here while still doing thorough QC. We brought on 3 new people to handle the extra load. I’m asking Kay to get involved on this thread so she can keep the updates coming.
