i placed an order with W&C on the 4th of October, and was told it would take 10 days to get to the splitter, then i would get a call from them....it is now 20 days later, and when i did call, the lady that took my order acted as if I was bothering her by trying to figure out where my order was...im gonna call once more today, and if i get the same answer i did last time, which was "they will call you when its ready", im gonna have to cancel...

I have been dealing with W&C for about 3 years or so. Had a few glitches and ordered from SLC, what I received was not the same quality I receive from W&C. Ordered a double shoulder of #1 import and single shoulder of HO, both were well below that I receive from W&C, over 30 cuts on the finish side of the #1 import and the HO fuzzed like a cotton ball in the dryer. Considering I paid more per sq. foot for SLC leather it was a waste of money and I ended up using it for prototypes and other scrap projects.

Takes about 2 weeks to get my orders split and shipped from W&C and just received an order of 2 natural tooling backs. Very happy with the quality, especially for a "special hide". Every one here seems to have their favorite supplier and SLC does have great customer service, I guess I just a got bad order. I don't call anyone and complain, I just learn a lesson and move on.

Just my opinion.

For all of you in the Western US there is a mass supplier out of Napa Valley as well who move HO among other veg-tanned sides and shoulders. They are the Hide House and have a history in that area as long as the area itself. Go to their website, check them out and see what they have that fits your bill. Their pricing is in line with everyone else, if not lower and they cover everywhere. They also have wholesale pricing for those who are registered businesses, just send them a minimal amount of info (the same as what SLC requires) and you are done.

Although I am in Nevada, Napa is about 3 - 4 hours away from me so I can call ahead, have them set stuff aside, and show up at the door to check it and pick it up. Makes a nice day trip for me so I can spend some time in the valley. No issues yet with their quality or CS.
