Interesting.

I placed an order to MLD and it was shipped the same day.

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?

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.

Perhaps next time for me. on 03/20/2012 01:21:52 MDT Print View

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.

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.

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.
