Travis called me less than 30 mins. after I made my post. I appreciate the issues he is dealing with. Nothing in my post was dishonest or inaccurate. My frustration is real although it comes from more than just this issue. It showed in my post. I've had several problems not related to my order (fire, death in my family, delay in home construction) I took that out on EA. For my over enthusiastic REDICOULOUS, I apologize although I am disappointed in the length of time my money is tied up in a tool I now desperately need. Looks like 4 more weeks to delivery.

Are all the orders you quoted 12-14 weeks (or so) running at 20+ weeks now?

 

[ranger danger]

I was told some items are 150+ days. Thats over 30 weeks.

You are disappointed I understand but you knew that going in when you ordered your grapple that your money would be tied up.

I would have waited 6 months for my grapple (I got in less than 12 weeks) as I knew this grapple would last the life of the tractor.

I might well have not bought from EA if I had known that 12 weeks was going to turn into 24! That being said, I knew my money would be " tied up" until I got the grapple. I'm also positive that I will be very pleased with it when it finally gets here.

Have you talked with EA about getting a refund and ordering from somewhere else? I'm positive that EA didn't know that 12 weeks would turn into 24 weeks too.
You want to blame anyone blame the US gov't for the hysteria created with the scamdemic.

 

[ranger danger]

I already do blame the liberal turds!!
Why would I get a refund now!?!? That would be idiotic! I'll just wait it out for 4 more weeks and just put it behind me. Theres the posability that I may not order from EA again though!

You are still blaming EA for events out of their control.

You do know that you are not the only one waiting 20 weeks? Had I waited another month to order my wicked grapple it would have 20 weeks for me too.

By the way I'm looking at buying a Top n tilt kit from Fit Rite hydraulics and their lead time is 30 weeks. I won't be blaming Fit Rite if I make my order.

 

[ranger danger]

I'm blaming EA for not contacting me and keeping me notified. Congratulations on getting your order on time. I'm happy for you.

Many of us are frustrated about delays right now. I expressed very similar thoughts when I found out that my sawmill build date had been pushed back yet again... especially when I read here and elsewhere about people who ordered from the same company after I did, and already are making sawdust. It's just the way things are right now. However, the only way that I would have paid up front knowing that it would be months is if I had gotten something in return; I don't write interest free loans.

I have to say that I do expect if someone's going to be later than their estimate, they should proactively provide an update as soon as they realize.

I completely sympathize with EA's supply chain issues (which are mirrored across many industries and are obviously not peculiar to them), but if they say it will be about 16 weeks, they should monthly reevaluate all of their outstanding orders and update customers as to revised time estimates.

To do otherwise is either careless (I know they're busy, but it's a good business practice) or deliberate to string people along longer (I certainly hope otherwise).

 

[tradosaurus]

I would suggest if you don't like EA's delivery time then don't buy their product. I'm sure their company will still have a backlog of customers that are eager to use their product.

The advantage of paying now and waiting is as EA states:

"Due to materials increases, those in line have paid less, by a few hundred dollars, than current price, and you'll be getting a Wickeder animal than you bargained for."

I literally saved $500 by paying in March of this year when I ordered instead waiting.

That is exactly what my wife says when she buys new clothes. She saved me money because those same clothes would be more expensive in 6 months!

I had to wait a while on my Wicked Twin (Wicked Root Grapple). It was well worth it. Any mortal grapple would have long since been reduced to scrap steel. That grapple handles tons of rocks and broken concrete without issue.

I now have a 4 in 1 bucket on order from EA. I have jobs waiting on it as I type. It will get here in due time.

EA built a better mouse trap. (the Wicked Root Grapples) The world beat a path to their door. Now the scamdemic causes supply issues. No one can be as frustrated as those people at EA are. There is no doubt EA team is doing everything humanly possible to get their products out the door.

For all you that need your product now, why did you wait so long to order ?
I mean, I ordered my grapple about 1.5-2 yrs ago and still had to wait.

Just a thought, but maybe the need didn't arise until now?

@EverythingAttachments. Don't want y'all to give away any trade secrets, but any thoughts on building or buying a factory a bit further west? I could see a benefit to you buying a struggling manufacturer maybe in Kansas or Nebraska. It wouldn't fix the short term supply problems, but it would increase production and enable cheaper shipping to big markets like Texas...

But I don't have a closet full of grapples.

I don’t even have a closet given all my wife’s clothes!

My Wickeder 55 is at 17 weeks now. Hoping I'll get it next month, but ready to start using it right now...I just pushed the downed trees into a pile to get a path through and will clean it all up when the grapple arrives.
