How long should I have to wait for a Drysuit

How long should I have to wait for a Drysuit to be made before I get worried about being messed around? I am waiting eight weeks and am getting excuses as to why it is not ready. I would prefer not to name the firm just yet but the suit seems fairly popular.

8 weeks sounds like a long time to me... I'm guessing that's made to measure? Even so... long time...

What sort of excuses are you getting?

I waited about 8 weeks for my 0Three but I did order just before a dive show.

last year I waited 7 weeks for mine and I guess this is the busiest time of the year for manufacturers. PM me and let me know who it is if you don't want to make it public.

Delivery time

Did the supplier offer a estimate of delivery time?
If the suit is being manufactured in China then you can expect 8 weeks for delivery, as it will take 4-6 weeks for the cargo ship to come round.
If being made in the UK give the supplier a telephone call - not email.

It took O'three about 6 weeks to make mine. But it was worth the wait
