Mirage was about that long. Buyers beware if you are getting conflicting times from different dealers, it isn't because one dealer is better then the other. It is becasue one dealer is lying abou the time and trying to get the sale. The one telling you the longer time is probably telling the truth. There maybe a situation where someone can get you something a bit quicker but in most cases you can't. Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #102 February 10, 2004 QuoteQuestion for you: If there aren't a large amount of people buying new containers why does it take some of the manufacturers (Velocity excluded) in excess of 3 months to build one? There is a two sided sword when it comes to that question. Some of the bigger manufactures also make military rigs. They sell a lot more to the military then to the sport jumper. The military orders will take priority. Causing the sport jumper to have his stuff pushed back farther and farther. The other side is that since militaryu buys hughe amounts of rigs every year it helps the manufacture to stay in business and take care of the sport jumper. Think about how many sport jumpers there are in the world. Not many if you really think about it. IMHO with out the Military buying rigs it would make it a lot more expensive for us all.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoneycase 0 #103 February 11, 2004 Hey Everybody, I got some new information on Mirage leadtimes that was actively passed to me by one of their reps. Their leadtime right now is no more than 6 weeks. If you have any questions you can call Mirage and ask to speak with Justin Thornton. I wanted to pass this information along, because I posted some previous information about their leadtimes and I think I have a responsibility to post the current information. Especially when the current information is passed to me by one of their employees. My personal preference for a container with a quick delivery time is Infinity. Head on over to www.velocityrigs.com and check them out for yourself.Does whisky count as beer? - Homer There's no justice like angry mob justice. - Skinner Be careful.
