Newtone Delivery

[MichaelDean]

I was wondering if anyone knew if the 14 days that Newtone say for custom orders is working days or calendar days? 

 

I placed my first ever order with them on the 27th of September, so it was 14 calendar days yesterday, but only 10 working days. I had all of the email confirmations of my order but not had anything since. 

 

My strings are a bit dead so I'm looking forward to getting them through. Left it slightly too late this time!

If it's any help, I ordered two sets on 24 Sep and they arrived 10 Oct, which was much quicker than the last set I ordered. Suspect it depends on how many orders they receive at any one time.

I emailed after 14+ working days and they confirmed that they will be posted next day, as it is a small operation like @Alba says probably depends on how many orders they have at any one time.

Having played @spyder's Serek Midwestern 5 with Newtone strings at the weekend, I'm very excited to get them. They were lovely on that bass - as was the bass itself. Might need to get a set of the shorties for my Mustang.

I must get around to writing a proper review of the Newtone Shorties. I've just put on their new Shorties B string onto the Serek Midwestern 5 and it is a fantastic combination. Every string has a consistent sound, tension and feel. I've not come across  better sounding strings for a 5 string short scale bass.

Bang on 14 working days and my order has been processed an dispatched. Need to bear that in mind for future orders if they're time critical.
