Guys, a brief update. Firstly thanks for not pestering the hell out of me, given there's not much I can do to make it go any faster myself.
I have heard back, here's the situation. Principally, it's down to one thing. The door catches are left and right hand and the supplier only sent one type. For some reason they are being incredibly slow at getting that sorted for our guy. This means that the job is being held up.
Ahh you cry, mine is only a plain one, it doesn't have catches! No, but as the powder coating is a special process with set up costs, everything needs to go through the coating in one go. Hence even the plain ones are being held up. The time frame for these was originally between about 2 and 4 weeks. At the time this was realistic, but given the levels of activity with the laser cutter etc etc. What with 2 bank hols and us taking longer to get the orders sorted (to get 20) things have slipped a little but I'm sure it will be worth it.
There have been one or two other issues, not with the product, but with other things and people which I don't need to recant here, but once again, thanks for your forbearance. Once the right bits show up, it shouldn't take too long.
Chris
