Wonder how LHR is doing...

[cnc4me]

I wasn't sure where to post this, I was just reading about back orders of QC's and it got me thinking, in our current economic state how is the company that we depend on to get replacemnet parts for our beloved machine doing? What would we do if they fall off the map like so many other companies. I like to think that this company is growing and will be around for a long time. I read sometime ago that they had sold 10,000 machines which is great but still seems like a small number, I'm sure its info that they would rather not give out just wondering what you all think of it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. They have a great product and great service. I believe they will be just fine. I think the delay in parts is the New Year time off. They take the New Year Seriously.....

I have been to Hong Kong a few times in my Navy days.

It started Jan 26th and last 15 days... With shipping time and Production, from the time LHR tells them "O' my..... We need QC's.... " and delivery can take time.

I edited the above post while you were writing...

There is a long supply train from China to Texas... 3 weeks off can really throw a wrench in the works....

LOl not to mention they stopped for the Olympics to clear the air! I hope that supply train isn't a row boat!

I believe LHR will be just fine.... The Sky is not falling.... The Glass is half full..... not half empty.

I am just jazzed that I shipped my first order of Picture Fire Tags. A HOT new product.

I think that LHR is going to be around for a very long time.

And Al congrats on your new product. I would still love to spend time in your shop......

If you are worried about the longevity of support perhaps you should become some kind of door to door carvewright salesperson. Just become a dealer and lug a machine to your neighbors doorstep

Gee Jason,

ISnt that what you were doing when you did the Lowe's stores?
Lug the machine from door to door???
