This excludes special graphics and the Velocitys...

Battram
Miller
Vaughn
or
Koho.

BTW, can anyone list the current turnaround time for Battram?

Miller will be faster (on average) than the others by a fairly wide margin.

In my experience, two weeks is a normal wait time from order to delivery. I was told 3 to 4 and was pleasantly surprised when it came early each time. The wait time was the same for one each of: custom build, stock build, and used stock orders.

Well, not to totally dispute Bryan, but I know that Miller told me 3-4 weeks for my thigh boards and they came in 3-4. I just don't know if Miller will ship EVERYTHING within 2 weeks...

Maybe they just like Bryan more, I dunno

I ordered my CM9 catcher today!

I can't wait for it and Paul (good guy to talk to) said it would be shipped in 8-10 business days. It is a stock CM9 except it may require a larger internal glove. Hope that helps!

I ordered my son's new pads from Paul last Saturday. I was told that current build time is 2 1/2 weeks. Should have the pads in the 3-4 week window.

I ordered a custom T5500 way back on March 12th from The Hockeyshop. Still hasn't arrived yet. I called yesterday, and they said Vaughn (Canada) was running about 2 weeks behind.

I ordered a CM9 C/A from Miller and had it in on the ice 2 weeks later.

I ordered a Mask through Battram and it took 6 weeks just to get it to the painter.

Id have to say MILLER. I ordered an accessory from them last year and it came in 5 days.

It took 2 1/2 weeks to build my CM9 blocker. But, guys, we should all realize that Miller is a small company. Sometimes there's a ton of work and del. times stretch out. I know the spring is Lacrosse time, and hockey gets pushed back.

Vortex just filled one of our customers orders in 4 business days.
(for those whoe are quick to find fault, I am merely responding to the thread and not trying to endorse anything)

Jay, when items are in stock, I think most companies can fulfill within days.

Not trying to advertise here

, but, my company is currently delivering custom pads (including our traditional 2 week shutdown) within 5 weeks. I think that is pretty good, considering we are slammed.

Marzdog,
From what I understand, Vortex is a fully custom operation. Every pair is custom made. This pair of pads was made upon order. I am sure that being a smaller company Vortex can have great turnaround times at certain times of the year. 5 weeks is great for such a large company. My Koho's ended up taking 2 1/2 months.

I ordered a new Vortek catcher and it will be at my door within the week. I only took four days to make. The pro shop I am dealing with took a bit longer than expected to ship it, but overall quite a short waiting period.

I ordered my Velocities a week ago and was given a 14 week turn around. I really think they make a quality product but I am tempted to cancel the order and go somewhere else so I can have my pads before Halloween.

That wait was straight from Dennis Doll, not some pro shop guy(I'm the pro shop guy). I know you can get yours faster Cyclops, but I cannot and I know the first post excluded velocities but I wanted to share my pain.
