Totally bummed

Agreed. Brandon's times are reasonable for a cottage vendor. Mountain Laurel Designs - a major lightweight tarp/cuben manufacturer has 8-16 week lead times.

I will say, the one improvement Brandon could make would be to more clearly list the expected time between order and shipment on his web site.

Sorry about this guys, I lost my webguy awhile back and had some problems figuring out the coding stuff, but the lead time of 3-4 weeks is now listed on the website as of this afternoon. Hired more help recently and lead times seem to be slowly getting shorter, we're trying our best to get this down to under 2 weeks but it's been a busy spring.

All good things comes to those that wait! And this is totally true from Warbonnet.

And what other vendor do you know who'd find your thread and respond directly to you? Easily worth the few week wait. Meantime you can use a 20.00 GTU or make your own for cheaper to get you through the month. You're still better off than all the tents around you

It will be worth the wait. It may seem like forever, but once you lay in it, you won't regret the wait.

So first of all I apologize to Brandon the initial shock got to me I should have never created this post it was knee jerk reaction but I have had time to think it over and as far as I am concerned for what I want I believe you have the best product for me and will eagerly patiently wait for it. I also apologize to any other forum member I might have offended. I am very excited to get my Blackbird and if takes 4 weeks then it takes 4 weeks now that I have had time to think clearly I realize it worth the wait.

You could call or contact him and cancel the order then get something more readily available.
That would be my option....

I thought this but I am glad I pulled myself to my senses before I made this mistake.

I do appreciate Brandon's willingness to communicate, but some people believed 3-4 weeks and are now still waiting at 6 weeks from order date ...

Worth the wait...I waited for an HH for 4 months (don't use it anymore, son wants it)

Waited about 3 1/2 weeks for the WBBB 1.9 DBL...soooooo worth it. You will love your hammock, and once you are swinging in the breeze, well, to quote Shug....

Whoooo, buddy!

[canoe]

just wondering...why did you wait til summer to order? fund?

[G.L.P.]

one thing you will learn and will get use to is the wait time on gear from small vendors
they don't all carry stock so your gear is made to order in the order it's placed .... WBBB is well worth the wait still my goto hammock and yet to find one that will replace it
