Thank you for utilizing this resource. We are doing our very best to keep you updated on what we are working through. To our dismay, we do not have the luxury to call each customer individually to discuss each update. We absolutely wish we could, but we simply don’t have the manpower. We are focusing our energy on production efficiency and getting the work completed. Please check back to the website periodically for updates.
The longer you have been in our production queue, the more favorable your position in the queue. Things are moving right along as swiftly as can be expected based on extreme order volumes at this time.
EVAPORATOR PANS
| PAN TYPE | PRODUCTION LEAD TIME |
 Flat / Divided Pans | Pans 2×4 or SMALLER: • Current lead time for production is approximately 3 – 5 weeks from your order date. • When your order is ready, it will ship via FedEx Ground or SpeeDee Delivery and we will email you a tracking number. Pans LARGER than 2×4: Lead times are influenced by pick up vs delivery as follows. • Lead Times w/Pick Up: Approximately 3 – 6 weeks from your order date. • Lead Times w/Freight Shipping: Fulfillment dates are largely dictated by our white glove carrier freight schedules (schedules available on the Smoky Lake website). We will contact you when your order is ready to ship. Sorry, we cannot promise that this will be shipped before the sap runs in your area. |
