Wow..2 months and you haven't gotten it? That's a little unacceptable.It's a new xcon. But if I understand right recones are in the same queue as the speaker builds so the wait is the same. It's definately much longer than I expected to wait. I can only hope it's very soon. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChadS13TDI 16 Posted July 6, 2013 Still has not shipped as of this morning which means if it ships Monday I'm still looking at 45 business days. Incredibly frusterated with how long this has taken....I've been planning my system since April and been sitting here ready for the sub since early June.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garrett Tait 5 Posted July 6, 2013 if you cant wait for quality you should have gotten some mass produced sub from china. they arent superman, they would like to enjoy 4th of july just like you and I. you'll get your sub and forget all about the wait, trust me. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And no they are not Chinese, and who is to say a recone received in 2 weeks sitting on a shelve is different than one handmade to order. 2 months to receive a product is bad customer service. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cloud77 28 Posted July 7, 2013 and having subs and recones on the same build order sounds just stupid to me. You have this big SSA store with so much selection. It takes 2 months to receive one of "your" products. Why would I buy a another brand from your store? Obvious problems exist with keeping up with orders. If you want to grow as a company stop hoarding the profit. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm more excited than ever to get my sub. My issue is they quote 21+ business day build time and its clearly not the case. It's misleading and in the end these wait times will slow business (in a bad way) which I guess will help others.Under promise and over deliver. I don't want to turn this Into a negative thread. I've been speaking with Aaron throughout the process and he's always quick to respond and all my other orders from SSA have been great. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sorry for the timeline, but it is not bad customer service, it is just a backed up factory working as fast as they can. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been speaking with Aaron throughout the process and he's always quick to respond and all my other orders from SSA have been great.The 21 business days is the average and is improving, but you have to understand it is not a one for one timeline. There are occasions where they can get behind, just like there are occasions where they are ahead. There are plenty of people who get their orders much faster then 21 business days when the guys at the factory are able to keep up, and those customers see the under promise and over deliver. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to grow as a company stop hoarding the profit. If you are suggesting this about SSA, then i suggest you get your information correct. They are LUCKY if they make $15-$20 per driver. You know how much Sundown and Skar and the other companies are making using chinese labor and parts? Five to ten times as much. Now tell me who's hoarding the profit. There is a reason our economy sucks and you don't see US made products much anymore. People want cheap shit and they want it right now. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a reason our economy sucks and you don't see US made products much anymore. People want cheap shit and they want it right now. Oh man, I wish we were in a position to "hoard the profit". People don't know how many orders are actually processed, how much actually makes it to us after all the shipping/fees/processing/overhead etc. If we were even remotely in the same time zone to 'hoard profit', Mark and I would not have full time jobs outside of audio. The size of the store and the rate the build house can complete orders is totally independent from each other. I have said a number of times, if people want faster turn around, we can easily raise prices so our build house can charge us a lot more so they can hire more people to increase capacity to reduce turn around time. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackinhedz 51 Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Im all for waiting for a great product...but I think the "wait time" should be adjusted to reflect reality. Mine and Chad's wait time has been well over double the posted time...would be more appropriate to reflect this. My opinion as a customer. Still a helluva sub worth the wait though!

ricksi30 923 Posted July 7, 2013 I have received many SSA subs in two weeks or less, and have waited a few months for a pair of subs. The reason that it seems like all orders take 2 months is because those are the people who come on here and post about it. I can't remember the last time someone started a thread saying "thanks for sending my sub faster than you quoted me", but that's just how people are. I haven't purchased any non SSA subs in a few years and doubt that I will anytime soon as I have been very pleased with the product/service. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
