These parts are being injection molded. So all the setup work will be completed and the first parts will be coming out of the mold on Feb 1st. I am not sure exactly how many parts they can complete per day, but the full 5000 will be completed within a week. My goal is to actually pick up the parts in person and ship them in partial shipments. So shipments will start going out the week of Feb 1st.

The order that shipments will be mailed is the order they are received. So if you place an order on Monday, you parts will ship after all the orders that were placed before it. While this probably wont changes things by much, it could add a few days.

We have already ordered a 5000 part run. It seems like the average order size is 200 parts, which means this is really only enough for about 25 teams. We can increase the order size anytime before Feb. 1st. But those parts will be made after the first 5000 are done. The injection molding shop can only make so many parts per day from a given mold. Ideally we could make a bigger mold which would be able to make more parts faster. But we placed the mold order today and they will begin that very shortly. We probably only have about 1 week to change the mold design without impacting the ship date. If we get orders in enough time we could increase the size of the mold, which would increase the number of parts that can be made the week of Feb 1st.

We are doing everything in our power to get parts made and shipped as soon as possible. But the bottom line is the earlier you order your parts, the earlier you will get parts. We are exploring every opportunity to get parts to teams sooner.
