What is an acceptable amount of time to wait for a press.

Any legit company wouldn't have as many screen names on forums as him and would have as many websites as him. He's so all over the map, but he thinks he's on it. he really thinks that he has an honest leg to stand on. The kook has been spewing the same exact stuff since day one. I remember ready all of this back on screenprinters.net

The answer the original question I would expect to be "as agreed upon"

Anyway, we wanted to get a Diamondback XL but the lead time on manufacturing the press was around 12 weeks, then ad the 4-5 weeks for shipping to Japan and you find yourself waiting 1/3 of a year for your equipment. Just for that reason we settled for the Diamondback S which is a great press too. but one way or the other at least you know you get equipment from a trusted company with a very good customer service.

Sorry you had to settle with an M&R that wasn't your preferred choice.

There are great companies out there, but M&R has the most forum trolls to perpetuate the spinning propaganda wheel.
Perhaps M&R has had a better strategy by targeting internet trolls with special relationships, your order may have missed the favor wagon.
Look at how many internet trolls have magically received immediate delivery of M&R equipment as of late, coincidence would not seem to be the case.
One thing that you may find interesting in all of this is that only Printex in the USA seems to be the black sheep of the flock, why is that?
Sure the M&R loyalist want to blame Barnes, but since there is such a long history of bad blood between Barnes and M&R one must question the foul play angle.
Will we start to see stories like Printex with other press brands in the near future?

The lead time on a Diamondback is the same regardless of the model and that lead time is currently at 7weeks. Where is this lead time and not being able to get the model you wanted coming from?

What's the funny part is that M&R having a lead time of 7 weeks is still several months faster than a Playtex. LOL

Barnes can't find any legitimate reason to discredit M&R so he is spending his time with nothing but insinuations.

His little forum is a ghost town that only him self participates in, that is even sadder by the fact he scours the other forums and steals other posters material and videos, then reposts it all on his own forum lol. His whole existence in this industry has been nothing but using other peoples hard work and ideas for him self. Ever notice he has no unique idea for him self? He is not as smart as many think he is especially as smart as he thinks of him self.

GraphicDisorder · March 21st, 2012, 08:14 AM

Wait, who thinks he is smart? He is able to manipulate WEAK people. That doesn't in anyway make him smart, it makes them stupid. Most see the light though before its over and the LOL'z come out.

You got Jeff a 10 color in less than a week, you got Alan a huge dryer in days, maybe you could get this Japanese guy a Diamonback air frieghted in and he could become your next BIG BIT (blue internet troll)

As we all can see Robert Barnes is illiterate or atleast selectively illiterate, he completely ignored the part where Rich stated and I quote "lead time is currently at 7weeks" the key word here is currently, this is a tradeshow season when Jeff got his press the lead times were different, plus Jeff is near M&R plus his press is a very common model usually pre built and ready to be shipped.
