Hello Gary and Alwin,
The most frustrating hold up has been with regard to metal machining tasks for custom copper mounting brackets, case base reinforcement plates and general casework as the equipment in the machine shop has been too heavy for Paul to move around the work area. I can’t even lift this stuff myself and I am healthy. However, I think with a little care it should be possible to bring this sector back on line over the next week, although it will be slow progress initially, so predicting order shipping is difficult.
Alwin I think your power supply should be ready to go towards the end of March.
Gary, there are still a number of orders before yours so I would be more inclined to look for April shipment.
While I am online, for those wondering about when to expect their order shipment. The speed Paul is able to work is variable depending on how much stress is applied to the hernia repair area during assembly procedures. At present his working day on the assembly line varies between 3 to 5 hours. Hopefully he will be up to normal speed in another month, but the current slow and variable pace makes it very difficult to predict when orders will be shipped out. Stopping to go through records every half hour or so for updates is only going to slow things down. I would prefer not to set a precedent here as I am only in the office part time three days a week at present and I am usually very busy too. All orders will be completed chronologically where possible. Larger power supplies requiring case machining have been held up more than orders requiring light work for completion, but the chronological progression will apply to all order types within specific categories. Most of you have been very patient so far, and thank you, and I hope this patience will continue until we get this backlog cleared.
Regards
