Any more updates? Peter's is usually really on point with their heat treat and time lines.
Grunt, I called Peter's today and they are still being HT. Brad said their main HT oven system is down and they are having to HT them at another facility.
These have taken months longer than expect and I need to clear the air here with you guys.
I had the order for these
3V blanks placed in mid August. At that time I was dealing with getting the Nitro V replacement blanks cut as well that so that delayed the order by maybe a week or two tops. That is 100% my fault.
However, I have had no part in the remainder of the delay and have been extremely frustrated through this whole process.
Long story short, my steel supplier/ water jet cutter who I have been working with for over 5 years
never cut the blanks. I spent all of September assuming they were at HT. When I posted on Sept 27 and said there was a water jet error, the error was that my blanks
were never cut in the first place. There is some ebb and flow in having the blanks cut and sent directly to Peters but it has never been a problem. So after I found out that the blanks were never cut, I called them and was assured that they will be cut and sent out immediately. Weeks go by and after many unanswered emails I'm told that they were sent out.
They weren't. I had been told at several different points that the blanks were cut and sent out but Peter's told me they did not actually receive them until 2 weeks ago or so.
I'm not trying to call anyone out here. Mistakes happen and when my supplier has to send me 40+ replacement blanks + other orders mistakes and miscommunications can happen. I just want to be completely honest and let you guys know exactly what's going. At the end of the day
delays are never OK and I'm going to be making up for the wait on these with a discount for everyone who has ordered.
