Problems with Slik Stik?
« on: March 15, 2004, 07:13:50 am »
Has anyone had any problems with slik stik in the past with getting their products?
i placed and order on 04-Mar-2004 and i still havent gotten word other than the order confirmation i recieved the day of the order..
that was 11 days ago   :-[
Im not sure how i should handle this, but i sure as hell didnt see any "please allow for several weeks lead time" on the site when i made my purchase.
Just how long should i wait before i assum ive been ripped off...
i got a couple T+ Mazak QT's here, i could have spat out a lot of 1000 by now..
in fact if someone from Slik Stik reads this and the problem is the manufacturing load id be willing to offer a quote to help with that.

You're not getting ripped off.  It takes them a while to ship, from everything I've heard and read.  My buddy waited six weeks for his SS to ship, which I think is unusual but can happen.   Hopefully you didn't ask for any unusual color scheme...

There have been several posts similar to yours in the last two weeks.  You may want to search for those.

I ordered a spinner from them late last week. Haven't heard anything from them yet, but I'll post when I do.

I had no problems with them... I was unconfortable with their 3-5 week waiting period and then this big silence (until I started making changes to it)... but lo and behold, I got my order in the promised time... :)

They seemed very good at answering their email...

Is this 3-5 week waiting period common when ordering just a spinner?

I had a panel from them... (sorry, should have made that clear :)) Anyways, they did respond to email within 24 hours most of the time... (and at odd hours like 9pm etc.)

Will,

Sorry for the delayed update. We are currently out of optical SS
handles, they should be in early next week, we will email you
tracking info when they ship.

Did you get optical joys, because as you can see, they are out of stock.  They may be out of stock of the other ones too, if that's not what you got.  I am a little frustrated by the fact that it is taking so long, but as long as I get em I think I can live with it.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Got my spinner today, five days from the day I ordered it. Pretty darn good service IMO.
