A lot of people that bitch about Blichmann's customer service are dealing with delays in their orders, which is absurd.

Why? Because they ordered from a LHBS. Blichmann is a manufacturer/distributor, they're not equipped to deal with retail concerns.

If you order, say, a DeWalt drill from Amazon, which happens to be on backorder, do you start emailing DeWalt about your order? Hell no... and yet for some reason, everybody seems to think Blichmann is fair game for that stuff.

When I order Blichmann stuff through my LHBS and I have concerns about my order... I talk to my LHBS. And it's been clear that they have been VERY good about keeping the store in the loop. Then my LHBS is able to update customers and respond adequately to concerns people might have about their orders - which only makes sense, because that's precisely their role as a retailer.

I am on day 35 of waiting on my three burner Top Tier, but IMHO they could at least take down "Don't wait weeks or months for your gear!" from the front page of the website. I did communicate through my retailer but they said 1-3 weeks not 5.

I'm sure I'll be happy with it when it does arrive, but that quote just eats at me everyday that goes past the three week estimate.

This makes me nervous about purchasing mine in the near future. I might say screw it and save up the extra money and get the B3 tippy system

My experience with Blichmann has been incredible. I ordered a 20 gal kettle from Rebelbrewer and I had that kettle in 10 days from B-mann's shop.

Free shipping too

I will absolutely use both Rebel and Blichmann again.

I too got a 20 gal Blichmann in less than two weeks from the time of my order.

And on the other hand, I'm approaching 2 weeks on an in stock water filter from morebeer. Doubtful I would ever order anything from them again ( and this is certainly a very small potatoes order ).

I think that it was a fluke that my order took so long. I could not be Happier now that she is here.
