The AP Enclosures Waiting Game...

Sent an email to AP asking if their getting close to shipping my enclosures, I had ordered a T18 in May, 1 in June, and 1 In July of 2021

Ali emailed me back and said they should be able to start shipping next week, YaY! Christmas in March :gj: (if they get shipped)

But she also added this.....

"With the move to the new building, added CNC and additional staff, we are now shipping out (on average) over 2x as much as we are taking in per day. We are making big strides toward reducing our lead times. Thank you for your patience!"

So if their shipping twice whats getting ordered, Hopefully soon wait times will become realistic!

Lead times are gonna be pretty crazy for a while still I think...or I guess hopefully just going back down to the previous 16 weeks would be nice. @_@;

A lot of the lead times are up because of the rise in new snake owners as well. Or experienced keepers purchasing and expanding as well.
I already had an empty baby/juvie rack, but I picked up 4 new snakes last year. I originally was thinking of adding only a pair. Oops.... Lol

I may need to pick up another rack again at some point too. XD;
It also seems like the heat panel groups have also been behind from another couple threads. So it's an overall thing not just AP it seems.

I ordered four cages in August and they shipped yesterday.

Congratulations- you survived the wait-time! :dance:

Same here. I ordered my T10 August 29 and it arrived March 30 :D

Mine took 7 months to ship. It's absolutely something that should be planned for well in advance as I've come to learn.

Got the email yesterday, They are being delivered tomorrow,

So that's right about 11 months since the first order

How many T-18's can you transport in a Chevy Volt?? 3 You can transport 3 T-18's in a Chevy Volt :D

Man Fed-Ex is not nice to those boxes, and they were delivered on 2 separate days.

Do you really need that roof? ;) :D

Ah, the beautiful sight of new enclosures. I'm excited for you and for your snakes!

I just put an order in last month to Focus Cubed Habitats for several PVCs. Jim from ProProducts emailed me today to confirm that he has shipped my RHPs to them for installation during the build, so things are percolating along.

That's very encouraging news- :sweeet:

I finally gave up on AP for now, their products are solid but I just can't wait that long, I only have a few snakes and needed to upgrade on a shorter notice. I just went ahead and picked up a locally made PVC enclosure from an expo today that's the same dimensions as my T8s. Wasn't that much more than AP either.
