I think Boost is on vacation....unfortunately he is the one that is in contact with the manufacturer and can determine if our current order is viable or not.

PM'd a reply to you Boost about the color I picked.

I'm happy to pay $45 or less so that means if someone else wishes to get Red it would have a MOQ of 2.

Obviously the more the merrier (and cheaper) so don't let that stop people signing up for the hottest color there is!

RED RED RED!

Ill be paying mine tonight and was JUST going to ask about a timeline.

I was guesstimating around 2 months from when everyone's paid to when people receive them.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Also Boiler or Boost, do one of you mind mentioning what happened with the color MOQ and confirming that the plate will still be gold.

Thanks!

Last I checked with Boost today, he was working on submitting the order.

I would guess 3-4 weeks manufacturing, 1 week for deliver, couple days to get them packed up and sent out.
