Here's my 2 pennies on the situation. It's all about the money. People like to make money like everyone that breathes but with some mask makers they take on too much and then either get way behind or when the money comes in they spend it and before they know it, they need more materials to make mask orders and have no money. Now since they ran out of money and can't order materials, they wait for the next order to come in so they'll have the money. But guess what? The same cycle happens again, spend the money and can't buy the materials. That's not being a dishonest person, that's just plain irresponsibility. Then we have the ones that are total rip-offs...they get the money you see them ship out a couple items and never hear from them again. I think a mask maker should always keep his/her website updated with their turnaround time at that moment and stick by it. I'd like to get into sculpting and making masks and for me, I will only take on 5 orders at a time. When those are done, then another 5. How can one person take on 20 orders and expect all 20 to be out within a month? That insane! I also agree that the mask maker needs to be the one fully responsible for their actions, communication, customers etc., not their mom! I've dealt with one well known maker that told he had an extra mask and just needed to hair it and I would have it in two weeks. Well that turned into 9 months. All through that 9 months I was told he would find out if his mom sent it out then told to email his mom, then told me it was already sent out, then told me his mom this and his mom that. Grow up and quit blaming mom! It's your business dude, not your mom's! Anyways people, I want to order from a few places and have never dealt with them. If anyone that has dealt with the following people below, could you please let me know if they were good or bad to deal with and what the turnaround time was?
