Whatever the wait time, it should be stated up front and be accurate to within a week. Baring a shortage of leather or an unexpected, lengthy illness, I can see no reason that a quoted wait time shouldn't be accurate. When I first ordered 4 holsters from one maker, their web site said the wait time was 12-15 weeks. I received my holsters after waiting 47 weeks. I can understand that if they were receiving more & more orders, how orders placed after mine might have a longer wait time, but they should have a pretty close idea of how many they can make per day and how many are in the order line. Had they told me up front that it would take 47 weeks, I would never have ordered from them as I ended up having to buy OTC holsters just to be able to carry the firearms I had ordered holsters for from them. Their current wait time on their web site is listed as 14-16 months but even if I were willing to wait that long, I wouldn't order from them based on my previous experience. Since it took over 3 times as long as quoted on my first order, I have no confidence that an order placed with them today may not take up to 3 years to receive. I have since placed 3 orders with UBG Holsters, 1 order with Comp-Tac and 1 order with Little Feather Leather Works. All three of them have delivered no later than their quoted delivery time and most were ahead of schedule. People who live up to their word get my business.
