Strong Enterprises

Is anybody else waiting longer than expected to receive their new 'chute from Strong? I placed my order from a reputable supplier on July 5th and was given a 10-12 week lead time. I'm wondering if it is just me or is everyone's order behind.

I had a similar experience, although not as much of a delay. I ordered a Strong 303 on May 30, 2019 and it arrived in September 20. I was initially told 8-12 weeks.

I superstitiously believe that by not being a demanding customer about the estimated turnaround time, my parachute won't deploy a Wile E Coyote combination of hardware when I need to pull on my shiny new D-ring.

Strong just recently packed up their shop of the last few decades and moved to a new facility, so I suspect that may have something to do with production delays.
