Mine was cases only, no drilling, no printing. When I messaged them July 20th and got a half shitty response back I don't think I will be ordering again. I'll buy a spray gun and paint and do my own or just find a local powdercoater than can do mine for a good price

Yea thats a crazy long time. Ive thought about going that route, you might check with @steviejr92 he offers all the enclosure stuff. Powder coats, drilling, uv etc.

Everything, and at quantity.
From what I've seen on the dashboard, certain powder coats must have awfully horrendous QC, and they will "split" the order to make sure they fulfill the quantity you asked for. Maybe with their infrastructure upgrades things might get better, hence the email they sent.
I think I can be strategic and plan around it. Currently it's still worth it for me.

Based on another email I've received, it's reasonable to hypothesize that anything with a high gloss finish—which includes things like the metallic/candy finishes—will have longer turnaround based on QC. I.e. because blemishes on those finish types will be more apparent, there's a high probability of having to redo it.
They basically said that matte sand and hammered finishes will have faster turnaround.

Just ordered, 3 different enclosure sizes, over two colors, winked solver and metallic black. Ordered on Jul. 31 and it shipped on August 5. There were a slew of parts on the order as well. So 3 business days to ship. Not to mention the time difference. They actually received my order on August 1.
When I have an order, I always compare costs with the domestic sources and almost always, even with tariffs, it is almost always more cost-effective to order from Tayda. The killer is ordering larger quantities of enclosures. Because they are heavier and take up more space, the shipping, handling and duties/tariffs can climb to close to 50%!
