First, Sendit Sailing was great with price and communication. However, this particular item from this particular manufacturer was ordered in April with an expected 4-6 week ship time, but ultimately received in September. Yes, 5 months from order to shipment. This is terrible service from the manufacturer, but it wasn’t Sendit’s fault as such, as these are sent direct from the manufacturer. One of the catches in ordering from a discount place that isn’t a stocked warehouse store.
