I think it does not matter since they are already being produced anyway...
But it would be nice if IMSTO could give a estimated time to shipping... if it was "CNC almost finished" 16th October then it should ship next week maybe?
I had made CNC case and plate myself a while ago, it really does take time.
If, IMSTO almost finish all the CNC work, he has to do SANDING and ANODIZING (Coloring) procedure... it takes time as well.
If all the color is plane and good finish, then he has to do PACKING and SENDING.
But... in my experience, sometimes I can get 100% satisfied product, but many time, I had to do RE-ANODIZING.
So, it will takes time, it is not easy job. I think that we all need little patient.
Personally, If I can get this from IMSTO before Thanksgiving day, we are all lucky.
