LLL Reptile

Ok so I ordered a VE-2 rack from lllreptile. Ordered it 5 days ago and still hasn't shipped. So does anybody know why it says it takes 7-14 days to ship. I'm the most patient person in the world. But I'm getting antsy now. I know somebody will say something about ordering from them. But the rack + tubs were the best deal I found on any site.

I can't speak for LLL specifically, but most cage/rack makers of PVC racks and cages don't hold a lot of stock in inventory (pretty bulky to do that), so they may need the time to manufacture the rack.

7-14 days to ship or 7-14 days for completed deliver to your house? either way i would guess the money u saved on the deal goes towards slower (and lower) shipping costs. LLLreptile advertises on our forum and i've ordered supply from them before. i think they're fine as long as your needs are not urgent. i guess u can pay for faster shipping, but there goes some of the money u just saved on their deals. they also put on a big show w/ both animals and supplies at our expo's.

Like someone already said, I haven’t seen any company that has racks in stock. Most of them have a wait time. Some up to 12 weeks so the rack can be built and then shipped.

Ok thanks. Thought that might have been it. It was only $110 w/ 2 tubs for $17 + $29.99 shipping. So it's worth the wait for me. Was just wondering. I guess having already put together racks in stock would take up a lot of space.

They might also have larger items like racks, cages, etc. drop-shipped from the manufacturer instead of stocking them in a warehouse.

Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s how it works.

So you say it says it takes 7-14 days to ship and it's only been 5 days and you're the most patient person in the world, but you're getting antsy???

Would have been better off buying directly from Reptile Basics :gj:

I kind of agree with MR Snakes on this one. You can't fault the company for taking too long to ship to you when they said it could be 14 days and its only been 5. I am kind of confused here. Like what Ax01 said, it could really depend whether they were meaning it'd be 7-14 days for it to arrive at your place, or 7-14 days until they get it shipped out of their place and on its way to you. Either way though, I think its far too early to get antsy. No disrespect meant, just what I'm thinking.

Glad I'm not the only one that noticed. Probably just an excited new owner.

I realize that now. After asking lllreptile what the process was. They told me that they send the order to the manufacturer. And it gets shipped from there. And after looking it up. Found out it comes from Reptile basics. But it's my first rack. So if I order more . Now I know.

I don't remember faulting anybody. I never blamed anything on anybody. I don't know who's posts you're reading cuz iall I remember saying is this is my first rack. I'm excited about getting it. And wish I didn't have to wait 7-14 days. So I don't know where you're getting the faulting part out of that.

Alright. Was just trying to point out that 5 days was too early to get antsy, when the BEST possible scenario was 7 days. But I promise you, I understand the excitement of getting stuff in the mail, especially when its something you're really looking forward to. Its hard to wait, I get that. Its like Christmas, but remember, you gotta wait until Dec. 25.

I have not ordered from LLL Reptile before, but if you are happy with this order and want to buy from them again, maybe they have a rush shipping option for a little extra cash? Would cost more but may be worth it.

Did you get your rack in?

No. Coming tomorrow the 14th though. It's just hard waiting that long for. But will give lllreptile this much. They are good at communicating. Was just getting antsy cuz I ordered on the 2nd. They sent me a tracking number on the 3rd. And if they hadn't of done that I would've waited however long it took. But having a tracking number is what did it. Even Reptile basics says they don't send a tracking number till it ships. lllreptile was creating false hope.(jk).
