Yeah they were just trying to guess at a reason...and it's probably the same reason UPS or USPS gave them "weather issues around the country have caused delays" (without even looking at the route). I will say as someone who ships, we do get a lot of customers mad at us for things that happen after the item has left our control; they think we can somehow on our end push a huge carrier to find one little package when it a couple days off the delivery estimate. I once had a person who ordered "standard shipping" get really insistent that I ship out a replacement order Next-day Air ($50+) because the post office had apparently lost their item.

Lets have a look at a "Genuine Leather" belt???

That's crazy...such waste but with pennies for material I guess it doesn't matter. -

This is the part that blows me away...so much labor...6 layers. Like so easy to just one or two and use decent material...it shows that they must pay next to nothing or have it all done with machines laminating huge sheets. -
Hey! We do this all the time, in a factory setting: we use a big sublimation press to iron upholstery scrap 300 degrees from the suede side to be safe. Occasionally from the grain side depending on circumstances. Occasionally some leathers don't like ironing and wrinkle up and burn but it's rare. You can use a household Iron too, just more likely to stretch use whatever setting is 300 degrees or under.

Sorry for the delay, just saw this! Yes I do have all the double colors: Bourbon/blush, Olive/Blush, Grey/Blush, White/Blush and Burgundy/Blush -
I have this Model D Herman Schwabe clicker that runs on and the head lowers but it's making a terrible noise and lacks power. It might need a new pump. I have working clickers and this one isn't vital, so I figured I'd offer this one for sale here if anyone wants it for parts or has the expertise to repair it. $500 OBO Clicker block not included. I'm located in Ruby SC and I can help arrange a truck shipment or pickup. Alternatively if anyone knows someone in the Southern USA that can repair these I'd appreciate the contact.

Que bueno...soy gringo pero he aprendido unas cuantas cosas de mis esposa Colombiana. Aunque ella no le gusta Fernet para nada.

Anyone Heard from Zack White Leather Co?
nstarleather replied to GatoGordo's topic in Leatherwork Conversation
They have been a good source for me but I’ve found their customer service to have issues. I got a box of edge kote with lids unscrewed on half the bottles so they arrived as a mess. I sent photos and they were absolutely unhelpful and unapologetic. -
