Well, it's only been a couple of days or so into accepting new commissions for batch 19 and already we are at something like a third of the forges maximum comfortable production capacity (for obvious reasons, we don't give them more orders than they can correctlty make within the 90 day target timeframe), so if orders progress as they have in previous batches we will start to batch up all the orders on 5th or 6th of April (current guesstimate only).
To make sure that as many people as possible get their orders in before we close off I will soon be putting another 'countdown' timer thingy at the top of this page, but this time counting down until orders close..
To help with the heavy workload at the moment my new assistant Karyn Thomas has been helping process the orders as we go and is doing a great job. While Karyn has been trained in every aspect of how to process an order when it comes in and record it's unique custom combinations in the format we have developed with the forge, she isn't entirely familiar with every aspect of the product line, so in the meantime I am getting through as many emails as possible, double checking the orders and coordinating batch 18 to come in (which should be just about to reach customs now, I'll check on it again after this post!).
Anyway, I'll post again once the countdown timer is on and when we have some more news on the incoming batch 18 - but in the meantime please bear with me if my email response times are a little slow, I do each one personally and am not the best typer in the world (I'm probably hitting backspace at least 50% of the time! Lol).
