Too long?

I've dealt with most of all the highest profile box call makers out there at least once.   I have NEVER paid for a call until it was done and ready to ship or be picked up......

9 months isn't even a START on some guys' waiting list.   So it's not automatically too long of a time period.   But, if your check's been cashed and you are getting no communication....... I'd maybe start to wonder......

I think get the phone call your #is up I'm ready to make your calls send the money is the all around best way to buy custom calls.
If a callmaker takes several years to get my call made so be it. I have nothing financially invested.
I really don't understand any callmaker that has a WAIT list to ask for money up front.
I'd have to ask what the purpose of wanting my money so far up front was for and probably would buy a call from someone that runs business as stated above.

Way too long. There are very few call makers I would send any money before my call was ready. Do not know of many at all that ask for money before call is ready to ship and the couple I do know ask for it do not have a great reputation. A few do not ask for money until you play call and are happy. Personally if they asked for payment before my call is ready then I would decline getting a call from them. Hope it works out for you.

I've never paid up front but I've waited a long time I've also had guys forget about me and not ever get back to me. Fortunately I've got more calls then I need so it's usually just move on

I cant speak for others,  but I personally REFUSE to accept payment or even a deposit on a call until it's done or about to be done ..that's me though ...other call makers probably have had a rough time with making or sending calls and not getting thier $$$ so that's why they ask for $$up front

Now..if you pay first (only) ....then  lack of communication and way too long of a wait , beyond what they told you ....PM their details and I'll look into it

As far as repairs....that's a touchy subject , I tell folks I'm not Sears roebuck...but I'll make it right unless you you really screwed up and sat on it --I give instructions on not what to do , like leave in hot car , get wet etc...but like said...got to stand by your customers and make it right , so if it's a repair...there is lots of ways that can go
