These volumes don't seem realistic.
If each order takes 5min to process, box and ultimately ship, this would have taken 66 hours (2.7 days) to complete ... working non-stop!
Something just doesn't add up here.
Then again, maybe there is an army of immigrants who are taking orders and pushing them out the door with exceptional turnaround times. :)
This is the second time there has been reference to large volumes of orders for this product.
arcader_1984:
It says on the store page in the FAQ that they only ship out once a week, so if you are packing orders for 6 days (gotta have at least one day off, right? -- maybe not) then the figure is totally realistic, all you are doing is sticking a product into a box, taping it up and putting a label on it, I doubt it would even take 5mins each for something like that.
Ummon:
I emailed (with my receipt) a few times, and then decided to call. Then, last saturday maybe, I emailed again, and I received a message from Curt within half an hour maybe. He said he just set a two-stick order on the bench and that it would be out Monday, and here's the USPS tracking number. I haven't looked cos USPS tracking blows, so I'm just waiting. Was gonna wait till I got it to say anything, but since the thread got revived....

Exact same experience, minus the tracking #. Earlier when I emailed I didn't hear back, but this time a day or so ago I emailed and heard back immediately. I think he's catching up on his backlog. Assuming it pans out, and I'm pretty optimistic it will, I gotta give him kudos for coming back from a health problem of the magnitude he had and making all his transactions right.
