Okay not starting a gripe at PRC so please no one turn this into that kind of thread. But if anyone who gets notification of their ordered razor being shipped could post here so we who are still waiting can get an update among us as to where they are in the que list would be great.
No change on PRC's site as to updates and I just wonder where they are in the invoicing que.
Thanks! ;)
I ordered my razor on Feb, 19th 2015. It shipped on June 5th, 2015.
So far, 2 shaves in, I love the razor and it was worth the wait. Especially for the price.
Hope that helps.
Invoice # #00195
Invoice #00193 paid 19 February, 2015. Shipping notice was also 5 June, 2015. 15 week lag between order and delivery.
**Side Note** Picking mine up today. Also, for Canadian orders, your razor will go to San Francisco before entering Canada at Richmond, BC (assuming USPS delivery mode).
I ordered a 7/8 non custom scales on 2/6 and was told maybe end of June. Custom orders are being fit in at the moment. Hunter is focussing on catching up stock orders.
I am invoice #200 and ordered 2-24-15 so hopefully close. Thanks for the reply to give me and others an idea.Quote:

155 days 22 weeks still waiting and all communication was initiated by me since April.
Someday I will get a surprise in the mail and remember having ordered a razor.

you ordered. Right now you are 10 days passed what was a "might be ready by the end of June" custom order.

When I placed my order I was told all orders were worked in the order they were received back in February.
I apologize if my update read as anything more than my current status on the order I placed.
Apology not necessary. It is important to PRC's survival that someone who is not familiar with what is happening to Scott and having read your post would might decide not to order at all if they see the 155 day wait comment out of context.Quote:

I am not privy to PRC's staffing for sure. But I would assume maybe there is someone that handles their office affairs and web site. I would only suggest to PRC a simple update weekly as to the number of the razor they are up to so those with "que" numbers know how close it is getting.
That said, I waited an additional few months pass my expected date but I can say this............WELL WORTH IT! PRC makes a fine razor and I wish them much success and this will certainly be trying times for them and Hunter is the Lone Razor right now and while I know waiting after paying is a hard thing, it will be well appreciated once you have the razor in hand.
I am waiting for them to get up to speed as they were over several months ago and get maybe a shorty styled razor for hard to reach areas that you need a shorter razor for.
JTmke I feel your pain and hopefully it won't be much longer and the smile will replace the wait.
To Scott and the crew.......God Bless and well wishes. You make a great product and I will certainly be submitting another order.
Well said ! Each and every maker is a treasure . We who love and enjoy straight razors should support all those who endeavor making these wonderful implements, we are supporting a art form not merely a business enterprise.Quote:

I will reorder once Scott is back to work.
