Estimated lead time: 1–3 weeks from order to shipment.
We're running into pre-season demand with a queue of a group of orders ahead of new placements. We ship from stock when available — same or next day in normal conditions. A significant stock build-out is underway and will resolve the queue over the next 4–6 weeks. We won't tell you two weeks and then surprise you with five. We've been there and don't like it either.
