Ya, whats up with the shipping delays due to more orders than expected???
I thought you are sending them out in order of who paid first. I'm curious as to how many finished spacers have been produced thus far and are ready for shipping?
I'm not trying to be an a**hole here, but I would sure hope those of us who paid weeks ago will be the first to recieve our spacers.

Agreed. I'm disappointed in the second delay. Though I know they must be quite busy, AAM could make their initial group buyers very happy if they'd start shipping what's already produced.

Hi Everyone,
We're really sorry for the delay. Basically there are no parts ready to ship. The manufaturing process is done in steps. We begin by setting the CNC Mill up for the intial shape. Once its setup for that first process it takes time to break it down for the next step. After we complete the first step then we have to setup for the second step and send each part through a second time. Due to the overwhelming response we had to extend the first process for all the orders. Since the first step is the longest step now we are out of the bushes. We will be shipping the angle spacers as they come off the machine and get boxed up.
We're really glad to see that everyone is excited to get their spacer. The performance will not disappoint and we are trying to get these out there ASAP. The CNC mill started crying the other day because we have been running it 24/7
Thanks
Dave Shiroma and the Staff at Altered

Man you guys are impatient…
I’m sure Dave is doing everything he can to get the spacers out in an orderly fashion, ie “shipped as you paid”. I don’t think a lot of you really grasp the process of one/off unique parts that are machined using a CNC and all the steps involved to make sure the product and all its parts are 100% true. He probably bought the initial batch of aluminum after the orders started rolling in, that’s what I would have done. At this point it seems like things are moving along just fine. I’m a late comer, so I’m just going to wait…not that big of a deal.
I'll bet you there were more than 80 orders...

Thanks for the explanation. I kinda just assumed that the production process had already begun. I forgot that this is a first production run. Thanks for the update. I'm just can't wait to get my hands on the spacer and I'm sure you all feel the same.
