I will preface this by saying that I have been an AP fanboy since I was in High School, and decided a long, long time ago, that if I ever wanted to do this for real, that I'd be outfitting my facility with their stuff.

There is another thread where you can see my lead-times on the stuff that I ordered, I could go back and look at history too, but everything has been within what they quoted me at the time I placed the order. I spoke with them last week and was told they are at the tail end of their moved and are currently in the process of moving out of their older, smaller facility and into their new, larger facility and getting both CNCs running full time. This will lessen their lead times. I was also told 17 to 18 weeks currently for any orders being placed. I ordered anyways.

I currently have:

(1) 375 6 high
(1) 330 6 high
(2) 570 10 high

The only thing I didn't purchase from them was my incubator. I did this mainly out of need, but also out of respect of the opinions of a couple people on this forum and have a Hot Box Incubator (I love it too).

I just order a new rack for QT (375 4 high) and a rack for a friend too (570 5 high). But, what they've allowed me to do in the past is to get a smaller part of my order going and add to it as I can. I've never asked about a partial and then full payment before, but I'm sure they'd let me do that too. They're a great company.

I plan on ordering another 570 at the end of May, maybe two of them just to be safe on being able to keep hold backs. I REALLY need to make an update post for everything going on in my world snake wise.

2c and worth the paper it's written on.

Best,

Paul
