Why is it soooo difficult to find an "Orange" anodizer?
Places advertise many colors for anodize. Call them up, SORRY, we don't do orange.
I had a VERY good vendor in Ct. that did a really good job anodizing my parts.
Expensive min. lot charge and pricing by comparison to other vendors (even on clear and black) but had three consecutive issues with shipping and parts coming back damaged that they would take no responsibility for despite their less than poor packing of the products.
Now I've been with a vendor out in western Mass who's lead time is on average, two weeks. Their work is acceptable, but not the greatest.
I just wrote and asked about a job I shipped out to them on 6-25-15 and they responded that it was shipping on 7-13-15. If I wanted it quicker, I could always pay a premium to have it sooner.
Seriously.......two weeks???
Our regular anodizer is 3-5 days lead time, they pick up on Monday's, Wednesday's, and Friday's (free pick up and delivery) and their work is good.
Wish they did "Orange"!
Looking for recommendations gentlemen..........would prefer one day UPS shipping from central Mass. as most times I cannot wait four days or more just for shipping back and forth.
Best Regards,
