My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

Do all cage companies have pathetically long shipping times?
All I ordered was a replacement vent.
It better not take 20-25 days before they ship it. :angry:

Steve, have you contacted the company and asked for an ETA?
 
I guess the ETA is whenever. Typical cage company. :rolleyes:

We received the order today and it was brought out to production. When it leaves we will email you tracking numbers but please feel free to email me anytime. Thank you

you just have the worst luck with cage companies, what is up with that?

When I get my custom caging, lead times are 1-2 months which I'm fine with; another company I order from has caging pre-made (and parts) and I usually receive those 1-2 weeks after I order.

Hopefully you won't have to wait 20-25 days for them to ship out a part.
 
Most caging/rack companies seem to have horrible wait times right now. I've been looking for cages for my carpets, and there doesn't seem to be a great choice...
 
This isn't a cage. This is a replacement vent.
There should not be that much of a lead time for a part.
 
I purchased a used Boaphile cage and would like to order a new acrylic door as the one with the cage is pretty scratched up. I can't get Jeff to even reply to my email. I am in the wrong line of work. I am a custom cabinetmaker by trade, maybe I need to forget the 50K kitchens and switch to snake enclosures. It isn't rocket science, it is a box with a door!!!

I've gathered that it's pretty typical from reading other reviews. He stopped responding to my emails too after the purchase was done. I admit it can be irksome, but he does give a full disclaimer on his website saying that email is the worst way to get a hold of him. He never did respond to my emails regarding the late shipment, even after weeks, but when I finally did receive the product and noticed a crack - I called him like it says on his site (Something I hate doing personally which is why I had resisted) and he immediately sent a replacement out the next day. I was very pleasantly surprised to get two replacement parts the following week.

I agree that there shouldn't be any problems if you just call him. I can't see why shipping out parts would take long since there isn't any assembly required or anything...
Good luck to both of you guys on your replacement pieces, hope it doesn't take long~
