Looks like Tayda's backed up again...

I used to make tube amps. Due to a non-disclosure agreement I am prohibited from mentioning the name, but that's when I filed a DBA, got a business license and signed up for a wholesale account with CE Dist and a few other distributors. CE Dist has a retail outlet as well you're probably familiar with, https://www.tubesandmore.com/ . They actually have REAL J201's, a bit pricey tho. The wholesale price is only a buck less.....View attachment 35655
This explains a lot, A photo you posted in some other thread showed a wah enclosure if my memory serves me correctly. I thought I recognized the site's layout/colors, but when I looked it was $14 more than the price yours had! I would love to build a wah, but not if the box is going to cost me over $40 haha.
 
I ordered on the 12th. I have not heard anything after the Confirmation. No paint jobs or drilling, either…

That's surprising, just components? My last order with just components was a same day or next day thing, but it was under 20 different items.
 
I ordered some UV prints on painted enclosures (some pre-drilled, some not) on the 10th and they shipped on the 15th
 
I've ordered 17 painted and printed enclosures in the past 3 or 4 weeks and turn around time on each order has been between between 3-5 days. That's pretty impressive given the amount of work that goes thru that shop. This last order of 12 enclosures took 5 days. I think the drilling is what's slowing people's orders from shipping faster. They have to CNC then paint and print. The shop as a whole seems to be running smoothly and at an expedited pace with no issues on any order that I have heard of.

Just arrived today, actually. Kinda crazy that it only takes 8 days from ordering in Thailand to arriving in Austria. It even arrived faster than my order from Musikding (Germany) that I placed on the same day lol

Three pre-drilled enclosures, which I realized are not pre-drilled, but follow pre-existing templates (nothing custom), so I'm sure that slowed everything up. I also had a ton of components. The order shipped this morning, and is due on Tuesday. I only made my post in this thread last night to get Tayda to finally ship it. Works every time...
 
Yup I use them for loads of stuff, it literally is amplified parts but wholesale, same company. You have to prove you're a "business", but they're not really intense about it, I think I used my business card and my website as the two verification materials to get my account. I've had an account since I was a college student. Oh and they have a $50 minimum order policy, but that's not hard to do if you're building more than a couple things at a time. Or if you're buying tubes.
Based on their address, CE Distribution, Amplified Parts, and Antique Electronic Supply (TubesAndMore) are all the same company. I wonder what the reason is for running 2 separate retail sites that have (what seems like) the same stock. Did they buy out one of those companies in the past?

That's good to know, I have 2 enclosures that have been in the queue since November 6 that still haven't been drilled.
 
Put in an order for 11 drill, paint, and UV enclosures on November 18th and just checked drill.taydakits and it says they're in progress at the print shop. Not too bad considering my last order took like 2 weeks to ship one enclosure!
 
My latest is out for delivery. It was held yesterday… guess they had to hit that 3-day shipping window. Not Tayda’s fault…I don’t think…
 
Placed an order last night for just some components and a few bare enclosures. Checked my email this morning and status is shipped 4 hours after placing the order. Dang! Now I have to wait 2 weeks+, lol
 
My November 6 order still hasn't even been drilled :-/

EDIT: I'm wondering if the way I ordered threw things off. I knew I would eventually need 50 enclosures and the max quantity discount is at 50 units, so I ordered 50 drilling services and 50 UV print services but only 2 enclosures with the intention to get more after the designs had been tried out. I ordered 48 more enclosures tonight, but it looks like I have to request that the new order be combined with the old one in order to get the enclosures drilled and printed. I thought I found a way to save a couple bucks by ordering services in advance and spacing out my enclosure purchases, but apparently I was mistaken.
