    Has anyone been contacted about these headers actually being made yet? When I called to order them they didn't want any $$$ yet, just wanted my contact info and they said they'd call when they were ready.

    Yeah, I guess I could call them...just wondering if anyone else was contacted yet though. :)

    They told me the same thing. I guess they should have them ready by the end of the month:huh:

    I think they had an issue or something with a machine and had to get a part ordered in. They told me they would START on them three weeks from the time we ordered them due to being busy and short staffed. Today i quit being in a panic for them as it snowed. :cry:

    Crite Headers

    When I talked to them last, I was able to talk to one of the techs there. He told me that they where waiting for a part to come in for the bender, then they could start making them. The part was expected that week. Once they start it would take about two weeks then a week for shipping. That was about a week and half, so they should be making them now and finishing them next week. So hopefully we will see them around Thanksgiving. :)

    Thanks

    I wonder if the machine breakdown was THE issue, and they just blamed the pipe supplier to stall until it was profitable to repair their bender...:huh:

    Well sure... I'm glad they are cooperating too. I sure wish I could get a set while the getting is good.

    It doesn't really matter, but that sounds more plausable than what they said was holding them up. I know if I had a piece of equipment that cost 10x to repair than one job would gross, I would lose that one job. If I had 10-20 lined up though, it's time to invest in a repair. I probably wouldn't tell a customer either "I won't fix my machine just to do your one job"... That would sound cheezy.

    I am with M.A.V. on that I am happy just getting headers that fit! When I spoke to them I did not get the feeling that it was a part that was broken, more a part that was needed to make these particular headers. Again I am just glad to be getting them. I am in no hurry for them, I lust want them! :)

    Thanks

    Jessica didnt take a deposit and I'm kinda glad about that.
    I still want the headers but I'm getting a little anxious about the lack of updates.
