Aero: How long did it take to get yours?

[Jack Burton]

I'm trying to get a handle on this as I've seen anywhere from 3 to 8 months. I'm wondering if they get less orders in the spring.

If you guys could, please post the month/year of when you placed your order and the month/year of when you received your coat. Thanks

may 2 and waiting

did you consider to buy a sale aero? no waiting time, and they have some really nice items at the moment

I ordered my VFQHH Stuart on May 9. Amanda informed me the day before Aero left on their two week hiatus..that it would be shipped the first or second week of August.

PS...I would advise ordering fairly soon so you don't run into their Christmas orders and holiday vacation shutdown.

Hey HoosierDaddy, I am deducing good news for me from your post

 

[HoosierDaddy]

Hey borisna...I figured that..!

2010..? I would have sworn that you were asking about linings for it last fall..but perhaps I'm wrong.

Paddy started a thread to discuss wait times for jackets, which might be helpful here.

My Aero, almost exactly whenever Amanda predicted when I ordered, whatever that was at the time (don't remember).

You are right on top of things HD. I was gathering all my information and changes together back in the late fall of 2009 and early winter of 2010. I sent all my measurements, detailed instructions, and 1/2 of the payment in mid febuary of 2010.

Oh..I'm sorry RK..I thought that you were asking about linings here on the forum last fall (2010)...but maybe that was for a different jacket.

Wildly unpredictable in my experience.

 

[ando.thun]

- Order placed on 18th of November (Factoryhomepage)
- Predicted production mid to end February
- Jacket received 4th of May

14 weeks including Christmas hollidays and the shutdown due to extreme snow (the army had to clear the streets...)

I placed my order on March 28th and I'm still getting the run-around from Amanda. I will gladly forward the email thread to anyone considering an order with AERO. The email thread eliminates all the "he said, she said" conjecture and will let you make up your own mind about how they are currently treating customers.

I emailed you. Sad to hear this after placing an order this week.

When I ordered my Irvin jacket, I was told by Amanda, that I had to wait several months (4-5 as far as I remember) before they got their new sheepskin supply. So I knew up front.
But when they finally got the sheepskins, the jacket was delivered three weeks before the fixed date

 

[Dav]

For both my orders I was quoted 10/12 weeks, both took 15!

 

[JakeHolman]

30's HB ordered in 2007 took 10 weeks (as quoted)
CHPs motorcycle jacket ordered in 2008 took 12 weeks (as quoted)
Stuart ordered in 2010 to 15 weeks (3 weeks longer than quoted)

Seems like they as their business grows then things are taking longer which I guess should be expected. I don't know how many machinists they have or how long it takes to train someone however with the current economic climate in the UK I doubt they would be increasing their workforce significantly. Amanda has always been very straight forward, polite and honest in all the communications i've had with her, sorry you've had a counter experience twinx1649.
