I agree. Based on past performance and a number of conversations with the Mertels, I think the
folks at Fluidmotion are simply swamped with orders... and it's to their credit that they are
choosing to take the time needed to ensure shipment of a quality product rather than rushing through
the manufacturing process and out the door. Cheap and fast, as we have all seen time and again, is
not the way to go. Sacrificicing quality and reliability of the product in order to cut down the
backlog is not the way to go.
Of course, that's easier for me to say... right now I'm not anxiously waiting for my SteppIR to ship
so I can get it in the air before the snow flies... but I'm pretty sure most of us realize something
worth having is worth waiting for... and believe me, the SteppIR is well worth waiting for.
