Couldn’t find any recent posts on this topic.
Does anyone know how far out they’ve been running lately?
Planning on ordering an EH2 soon, but have no interest in waiting 6 months +.
Thanks

Well, guess I’ll just try a McM Gamescout then.
Thanks Josh

I attempted to order a Manners once. Three months into the wait they informed me they couldn't do the stock I wanted. I emailed asking for an alternative solution, no answer. So I called them, middle of the day no answer (didn't) leave a message. Called them next day , again no answer, left message this time, no call back!
Ordered a stock to be made by a competitor had it in hand 3 weeks later (MPI)
Finally received an email from Manners asking how I wanted to proceed? after I already had my new stock! unbelievable lack of customer service! They may make a fine product but fuug them!

Tom definitely needs to get a handle on his schit. Manners are by and far my favorite stock, but I’m done hassling with trying to ordering new from them. If I can’t find it secondhand or on their ready to ship page, count me out....

It's been said that a women could bear a child before Manners could deliver a stock. At least one member here ordered a stock, waited 9 months for it, only to receive it and find that it wasinletted wrong. You pays your money, you take your chances.
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

It sucks when the hassle is greater than the product

I have ordered 3 in the last two years. MCS -T, MCS-T2, and a EH-6. Two to four month delivery time. Service was always good when I called.

In 2019 not answering or responding to simple emails is a great way to piss off customers. I’d never hassle a small shop with an email and I’m always remiss to even call a small shop as I know they are usually working (Mel comes to mind) ... but Manners? GMAFB.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll just go McMillan again.
I've heard enough here and from a 'smith I use to sway me away from Manners.

After several successful orders, this happened. I'm pretty much done with Manners unless I find a used one at a decent price. Link - My long journey with Manners

That’s a painful story!
Been through it with a company and ‘Smith before, but not like that.

Man what a bummer to read these threads. I’m a couple months into my wait for an ultra classic. I will give manners credit as communication was good when I placed the order and also when I had an address change (I recently moved)
McMillan is always an option but I’m hoping to try manners on this one

Tom needs a business person to help him run the show. Of 10+ stocks, well more than half have had to go back for one reason or another, but mostly because of incorrect LOP (easy stuff). I love his stocks so I've endured the hassle. I get poor customer service unless I go right to the man, Tom. Tom's personal customer service is 11 on a scale of 10, which keeps me sticking with him. He's actually got one of my returns in HIS hands right now. Anymore, our unspoken rule is if I can't deal with him directly I'm gone. I hope he gets a handle on it, can't grow a business like that.
