| Production waiting times for different materials? [message #43005] Sun, 29 January 2012 00:11 UTC |

I recently ordered a few different items and was informed I should expect to wait around 2 weeks (3 weeks for one of the items) until the orders get shipped.
Is this the typical lead-time for small orders, and why does it take so long? Once Shapeways expand their production facilities in New York, how quickly do you think we will be able to receive our orders?
It would be amazingly helpful for me in my product sales if sometime soon I could guarantee my clients would receive their items from Shapeways within one week! 
Not to mention, the anticipation of waiting to see how new design tests turn out is pretty nerve-wracking....
Cheers,

A couple of pages for you to bookmark-
The main materials page has links to all materials, on each material page is the delivery timing for that particular material.
The Materials status page has information regarding any delays for materials.
And don't forget, the quoted times are business days

Me neither. 
We've got a ways to go, but our materials and are lead times do seem to be trending in a good directions.
The materials status page is all green today for the first time!
