I dont want to disturb Adams with questions every online dealer have to endure (like the classic "is mine ready?" and "when will it ship?" so i decided to ask you guys ..
When you are waiting on your crowsnest.. did you had a tracking number or was it a total surprise when it came at the door ?
Im trying to calculate an approx arrival date according from what I have read on this forum.
Thank you for your time and input :)
I did not get a tracking number from him on mine!
No there's no tracking number. Unless you specifically request a type of shipping that would provide that. My experience is to ask him via email or PM for an approximate ship date ... he works in sequence of orders received. I just asked him to email me when it shipped and then depending on where you are ... the USPS will deliver on their schedule. Since you're outside the USA ... I'm sure there'll be more time involved.
Best bet to find out though is to directly PM Adam ...
I ordered a incubator April 20th. Still waiting. I did send out an E mail last week with the same question. I might have it this weekend. No tracking number yet...but i like surprises.:D If i don't get it this weekend my feelings won't be hurt, cause i know there is only one Adam, and he has lots of work, there's a very reason he has lots of work......i'm willing to wait for that reason.
i waited almost 2 months for mine guys he is a one man show....
but trust me...it's well worth the wait you will be very happy with your new Crowsnest :D
I waited around 2 months for mine as well and waited with a smile on my face, it was worth every second of every day that I rushed home to check the mail. The wait was so worth it I actually just ordered a summer set of quilts from him. His quilts are top notch and will keep you nice and toasty. I did not get a tracking number but did get a PM saying it was on the way. Like Greenlespaul said he is a one man show and he takes pride in his quilt makeing abilities. Send him a PM though he is a super nice guy, Enjoy your new crows nest I know I sure am.
those of you who waited 2 months.. I guess you ordered at the beggining of the mass production.. or at a really busy time maybe.. last time I had an answer from Adam, the estimate he told me was less than 2 months but i didn't email him about it since it wont change a thing on the first come first serve order.. I just have no clue where my order is situated on his list
btw, like every adam's customer, I have no doubt that the product worth the wait.. but like when we were kids, we like to get our toys fast and play with it :D
The anticipation builds excitement... :)
I ordered mine from Adam on April 12th and I'm still waiting patiently. Its not easy as everyone is aware, I am confident it will be well worth it.:drool:
What you have to do is consume yourself with something else. I cant remember how long I waited for mine...but it just showed up one day and I was like "sweet"
Of course... I was busy every night and didnt have time to think about where it was.
Its worth the wait... coming from someone that will cancel orders if it cant be shipped in a couple days. Ive got an order for some small Figure 9's that I placed 2.5 months ago. Youd think they started making them from gold cause no one has any.
I just got the UPSP tracking info today! :thumbup: Next tuesday, Brian says he should be shipping my custom black sil 12x10 MacCat. :thumbup: Last purchase will be a tarp line from Opie and I'll be lovin' life from my new summer habitat! :boggle:
wait wait.. who's Brian ? I tought The Perfect Trees was own by Adam and it was a 1 man operation.. and he make custom tarp ? :confused: ?Quote:

I can only hope to one day be worthy of the craftsmanship that will so lovingly envelope my journeys down life's trails. :thumbup:
i'm not a fan of waiting either....but trust me...it's worth it..
his quilts are worth way more then what he charges ....:)
in my case, its not a patience problem but more of a "im-gonna-be-in-germany-in-3-weeks-and-if-the-package-arrive-while-in-Berlin-the-package-gonna-go-back-to-the-US-after-10-days-at-the-post-office" kind of problem..Quote:

And yes, when Adam started production, it was dozens of orders in a matter of 2-3 weeks at once, and they kept pouring in, and he was frantically trying to keep up. It's a HUGE bonus for us to start really catching up now. This mainly comes from converting a room solely to The Perfect Trees, and converting his wife to full time quilt maker. I love it, but I love more that I am able to do any of them with his standards now (he's tough, trust me ;) ). Side by side with our matching Pfaffs, we make a great team. It's far more hours than a full time job, but the passion to work is there, and I cannot believe how excited we still get and the grins on our faces when we stuff them in the sacks, it's emotional. I'm not kidding around to benefit the company, you really DO get emotional when you've spent so much time working on one! Ok, back to work. Night, all!
oneonone - Your quilt shipped out on the 13th. :)
Doc-BurN now the real hard part, Knowing that the post man is holding your quilt hostage untill he drops it off. Their have been people here on HF who have stalked their post man for their quilts :scared:. You will surely enjoy it.Quote:

and I can understand the part where you work for a long time on something that it start to get, in some way, emotional.. happen to me before. The only thing we can repay, beside buying the quilt.. and for me, taking some pictures of the quilt in action all around the world (once again, for my part, that quilt is going to see the deep wilderness of Canada)
Thanks for the headsup on the quilt!

Thats is one of the reason I hate UPS.. they try 3 days to deliver it to your house and keep the package hostage at the warehouse and i got like 30 min to pick it up when i get off work.. so thank god for USPS in my case!
You are right opie.. i was so busy planning my next expedition in 4 days that i didn't really checked what was the status of my crowsnest.. and boom, just received a notice that its ready to be picked up tonight..Quote:

oh yeah... new gear!! :cool:
Am I guessing right in thinking The Perfect Trees is based out of Lancaster, Ohio? If so then I'm just an hour's drive away. I can come pick up my order to save postage. hehe Let me know.
Yep you are just north of Columbus, which is about 30min from my house. I will let you know when you Burrow is done. If it works out, you can come see the shop! :DQuote:
