    I'm three months into the "quick ship" cages. I picked the wrong color again
    Still worth the wait.

    Re: Animal Plastics (AP) bought a Bigger Facility.

    It took 17 weeks to get my last order shipped, and that was me calling and checking weekly after the 14th week point. Lead times are getting excessive enough that if they don't get them down soon, I might look for another option. This coming from someone that has wanted to do everything AP for more than 20 years.

    Best,

    Paul

    Does anybody have any idea how many enclosures AP actually produces, let's say weekly or monthly? I'm sure there's some variance due to custom orders and what not, but I'm just curious if anybody has a ballpark number.

    I'm torn between building my own or buying APs when it comes time for my Bredli and Carpet to get their "forever" enclosures. Their reputation speaks volumes, but those lead times are LLLOOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG and I'm very much an instant gratification kinda guy.

    Order it now and it ~might be ready when the animal actually needs it

    My T25 took 25weeks to arrive and I was quoted 10-12 weeks over the phone by Ali when I ordered. Great product but absolutely absurd lead times

    It seems like their wait times have actually gotten worse. Their email response times are worse as well.

    Yep, they have. I had tried emailing them when I was looking into a divided 8’ cage and never got a response. That was summer 2018.
    Super unfortunate because they make great enclosures. If you can anticipate your caging need 6-12months in advance you’re fine. But that’s not a thing that people do really

    Thanks guys. That's unfortunate to hear. Pretty much everything I knew of AP was positive, with customer service always being highly praised.

    Building my own probably won't save me much money, but I know I can build a quality enclosure, and can probably bang two 6 footers out in a weekend.

    I’m in no way trying to knock them. The three enclosures I have by them are great. But when I’m planning new cages for growing animals it’s less than realistic to plan close to a year out depending on the critter in need of enclosure upgrades. I’m currently set on cages for the snakes I have at the moment but should that change, I’ll still consider AP as an option if I can plan that far in advance
