I don't know exactly when it was customized but the guy said it was EPS so I'm hoping for a similar result on the strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the PX Devils I’ve been doing, now THOSE have no glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if that had anything to do with it, but it was hardly glued at all. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 My order from Bobcat is waiting for me at the local FedEx office. So, that would be 7 months, 2 weeks and 3 days since they received it. YMMV. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unanswered question: how long were they ready before you called, and how long would it have been before they realized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggermatt15 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Over the past several months I've sent 4 Penguins jerseys to Pro Knit Wear in Pittsburgh for lettering and numbering. Turnaround time was about 2-3 weeks. They were happy to have my business and did their best to get the work done quickly. I am pleased with the work. I'll send them more jerseys in the future.

TheKevinShow Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I just got a quote back from Pro Knitwear for a 2016 SCF Penguins with a lead time of about two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoCaps Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 EPS - Exactly 18 weeks from their receiving them on 9/17/2018 to me receiving the invoice today. It was 5 jerseys, but 4 of them were Caps, which should have been a breeze for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB67 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 I ordered a kit for a 2019 WJC USA Jersey on Dec.26th, and got invoiced for it last Friday, so not bad, only 3.5 weeks wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 My oldest EPS order is at about the 8 week mark. Hoping to see an invoice in the next week or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent them a Caps jersey in November and got it back by New Year’s. Probably. The Wildcatters was just one layer back numbers and name, and two layer sleeve numbers, and to me the font seems pretty basic. I was hoping that they'd see the 4 Caps jerseys and say, "no problem, we can knock this out", but apparently not. I really have no problem with waiting, and they have higher priorities. I'm at 14 weeks and counting with them for a two jersey order......a 2003-04 Ottawa Senators and a 2005-06 Las Vegas Wranglers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact that if you throw one oddball in there, it will delay your entire order. They don’t invoice you until the whole order is ready, and they don’t break them up to ship you stuff that’s done earlier separately. So you have to wait the longest wait time. Josh told me that himself. Of course, knowing that, they may not have rushed on your Caps stuff and they may not have been ready at all.

JJM4 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm happy to report that the strip of an EPS job went quite well. I have to say, what an absolute PITA narrow tight stitching job they do though. It took me close to 8 hours to strip a #23 kit off, but there was very little glue used. I hit it with acetone in a few spots and that did the trick. Now I have a blank Fredericton Canadiens for Keener to work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
