The first of the Black Friday orders have shipped. The rest will follow over the next week or two as needed parts arrive. There were so many orders in that Black Friday/cyber Monday time frame that, rather than looking at order date alone, Josh is also looking at the order hour to determine the shipment priority.

The last quarter of 2014 was exceptionally busy for us due to the number of special offers we made. We appreciate everyone's orders and also their patience as we work through the delivery of those great deals in the most orderly and efficient manner possible.

Hi Doc B,

Any chance you will be running crack + speedball sale again any time soon?  I received a pair of HD650's for Christmas and am a nascent audiophile.  While researching amps, I learned the crack is highly recommended for the 650's but also learned I just missed the crack + speedball special.  Trying to manage the budget!

How are things coming along? I was hoping to see the Black Friday Cracks shipping soon... am I too optimistic?

Relevant :p

Josh will correct me but I think all of the Black Friday Cracks were completed yesterday and maybe even a couple of Cyber Monday ones. Most shipped yesterday and a few may be leaving the shop today.  A lot of parts are coming in over the next few days and there should be another good sized lot of kits shipping over the next few days. I brushed a big stack of panels yesterday and plan to brush another big stack today, to keep things flowing while Eileen and I are away on business.

Once we finish processing the Black Friday/Cyber Monday orders the lead time will shrink. Those two days add an entire month of labor to our schedule.

Black Friday is fully shipped, up to 7:35 AM (PST).

If you ordered a Crack or Speedball before 12:36 PM on Cyber Monday AND chose UPS shipping, it has shipped. If you ordered in the same timeframe with USPS shipping, it is packed and should ship today.

The next batch of Cracks will be after the next batches of Stereomours, S.E.X.s, Paramounts, Mainlines, Reductions, SmashUps, Smashes, Seductors, Quickies, Quicksands, Eroses, and various small upgrade kits. Some of those will be out this week, Cracks will not. All of these batches will be about what normally goes over the course of a month for these kits. Ever kit on that list is currently waiting for some part or another. I am devoting time and resources going from oldest to newest and I'm very close on most things.

Seems I am not getting my speedball in January. Will the Cyber Monday speedball orders ship in January?

I think this would mean that you're in the next batch.
