Ordering something from MLD is like…

Still not here. This brings up a question…it says on the website that things like tent stakes, pots, poles, and lines usually ship in 1-3 weeks. How the hell does it take 3 weeks to pack up and ship out a set of tent stakes and a pot?

PS…I should have spent the $500 and ordered from HMG.

I used my Echo I this weekend…. ;)

I'm seriously regretting not getting it.

Maybe I'll figure out some way to sell it on here. I'm sure as hell not paying for a membership unless a "BPL promises not to delete my posts on here" clause is included.

I'd still rather wait for a quality product from MLD. I've met the entire crew at the shop before. Everyone is super cool and all about business. I seriously doubt your order is slow due to any type of slacking.

Hi P. Larson!

We would be happy to help you or give you an update on your order, but we can' t find you as a customer as P Larson or by the recently changed previous BPL user name either and we have not had any inquiries about missing orders that would fit your circumstance.

Give me a call! Always happy to help.

FYI All orders are running very close to the projected ship dates as noted on the MLD Homepage at the time the order was placed.

We can also be contacted via email, facebook, txt, mail, etc. BPL messages via the personal message system also great.

My timing is off on this one. We just set plans for an early summer trip, I got to thinking of our gear, decided a new shelter would be sweet, found the MLD Duomid, found the current lead time on production. Shipping in 10wks wouldn't give me enough time to work things out before our trip so I'm looking into plan B. Ahh well. There's next time perhaps.

Post a want to buy "WTB" on Gear Swap for a Duomid and see what happens.

Take Ron Bell up on his offer and call him. When I asked about TrailStars he told me silnylon varieties were running about 7 weeks out, but cuben models were closer to the 10 week lead time published on the MLD homepage.

Ron and I spoke before I posted here.

Also, I'm the new guy. I can't post new threads to the gear swap forum until I become a paying member.

Thanks though, good ideas just the same.

"Maybe I'll figure out some way to sell it on here. I'm sure as hell not paying for a membership unless a "BPL promises not to delete my posts on here" clause is included."

I will sell it for you. $25 dollar fee. Cheap.

;)

Like he said, for sure give Ron a call or email him. I emailed Ron about an order and he was very quick to respond. He even let me know when I should expect the package but to my surprise it arrived sooner than expected.

Disclaimer: By no means am I saying this is poor service by MLD. By NO MEANS. I'm just an anxious dude. Really. People, ORDER something from MLD.

Oh and get this….someone is about to order an Exodus next week. Rut ro.

Ron, email coming your way.

Another day. Another day….

BUMP b****es!

So all these days biitching about the mods, it's the angst from waiting for an MLD package? :)

Are we going to get pictures in stages? Perhaps your expression at each point. Even to the point at which you pass out?

Oh I got it this afternoon. Already set'er up and everything. Leaving in the am for a little 48 hour trip. No planned route, just a map, a compass, and the wilderness bud.

Have fun!

Are you bringing cairns or Nick? Don't get lost.

I don't get lost, I just get disoriented. Hahaha. As we used to say in the Army. Terrain association is my thing. So easy to do in Colorado and Montana. Hell, anywhere actually. If you know the major and minor terrain features on a map, you really don't need a compass.

is like a Friday on Tuesday!

Only five more weeks for my Trailstar. Or maybe it will come earlier…(hint hint) Ron?

Hi!

I am done with wait. Ordered Solomid on 8th of March
and got email from Ron it shipped yesterday. Boy the wait time
went so fast I can't believe its almost May. Well done MLD!

Cheers
