Will there be a group buy this year or is that not a thing anymore?
The last year it wasn’t worth it for us. It caused a huge logjam in production and after multiple people changing orders we didn’t want to impact customers orders. We are open to doing it again but with our current workload it didn’t seem fair to anyone.

Hope this helps

On average how long after you get invoiced does it take to ship?

I received my invoice on 5 Dec.

I’ve called multiple times, but keep getting the “it’s in finishing should be ready in 2 weeks” for the last 8 weeks.

It may be taking longer because I requested pictures of the stock before it is shipped because I want to ensure it has the 90% paint that I requested.

Thanks,
Jay

Usually 4 weeks I’d say but we are waiting on some hardware. I don’t know if that is holding yours up or not but could be. If you can email me at [email protected] I’ll be happy to look at it.

I got invoiced in December and keep getting the same response you got. Was told Jan, then Feb, and now March with nothing more than it’s in the final stage. Funnily enough I requested pictures before they ship it too, to make sure it’s built correctly to my specific request.

I don’t mind the wait, I just have issues with being invoiced and waiting more than the quoted 2-4 weeks to receive the stock once payment is received. At least tell me why this is so without me having to reach out every few weeks.

I’m sure the stock will make it to me eventually, and I’ll probably enjoy it… but man, the comms/transparency is lacking as of late. Maybe I’m expecting too much? Lol

That’s definitely not the norm and you shouldn’t expect that. Like I told Jay, they are waiting on one pc of hardware in that dept but I have no idea if that has any affect on yours. I’m glad you’ve been in contact with them but hate to hear it’s not working out for you. I’d be happy to check on it but would go ask the same people you’re asking. Feel free to get with me if you want though. [email protected]

If you do please send me your stock number and user name as I’ve gotten confused lately with guys saying something like “it’s stan from the hide” lol

That stock does us no good staying in production and we want you to have it just as much as you do I promise you. So I never mind helping anyone out when I can!

Seems like from what I’m reading the TCS, EH1, and anything lefty is taking forever. Funny I just put an order in and this is the first time I’m seeing this thread. I thought the 4-6 month lead times would be accurate. I hope mine gets here before October, but I guess it’s a crap shoot. Only time will tell. Anyone order and receive a T2 lately? How long did that take?
 
Lefty LRH ordered 8/03/22 and received 2/20/23. When I got the invoice notification in early January I asked if the stock pad could be changed so it’d match another Manners stock I had acquired. Request granted quickly and at no additional cost but it probably set things back a couple weeks. So the whole process took about 6 months.

Ordered a Manners EH1A from a Cdn importer in Mar 2022 and was notified in Feb 2023 that the stock was headed for the exporter. So just under 12 months for an order from Canada.

However, in a sick twist of fate, the stock got lost somewhere in the importation process and never arrived at the shop. Still considering options for a way forward but the thought of waiting another year makes me sad.

Not throwing any shade on any of the companies involved. Everyone has been great to deal with and it's hard to blame anyone for a shipping problem.

@Escanor that is so great to hear! Also, I have to steal that pic!
Go right on ahead brother! Check out my Instagram @tayofaminu for more. The stock will make a few appearances there.

Also for those who may be wondering, it’s an 8.6 BLK build. 12” Faxon barrel, Defiance Ruckus Action, Kahles K18i optic, Scalarworks optic mount, Aadland Scope Caps, Area 419 8” Arcalock rail, Atlas Bipod, and of course the wonderful Manners CS Stock in the “Back in Black” colorway.
 
Approved order for mcs-t2a on March 7th, 2022 - wait time was 8 months. As of March 23, 2023 haven’t heard anything - called probably 4 times over the last 4 months and I never get a call back - they say they are going to but never do. I was expecting a wait but phew.

Update - spoke with manners about this - great customer service and they helped me get some answers - thank you

I wonder if they can change my order….I suddenly need to add something to it.

As long as it hasn't shipped, they should be able to add to it - depending on the ask, anyway. Like, if you need to change finish or something, and the stock is already past that point in manufacturing, you might be too late, but adding additional items (weights, etc) should be doable. And they'd probably be able to add flush cups, or other inletting items at the risk of delaying delivery.

Based on my experiences - call them, but email can also work. And if you don't get an updated invoice, etc, hit up Robert Brantley here through the forum - he has a magical way of unsticking things.

I meant an arca mounted fleshlight, like in the post I quoted 👍
 
My order from the end of September just recently arrived in the last 10 days, there was some confusion at the shop that actually pulled it forward by 2-4 weeks. I haven’t heard anything on my Black Friday order and would not expect till the end of June at the earliest.
