1 item backordered. I want this stuff. But it’s hard. Probs gonna take my money up front. Again….
For what it's worth I ordered the BL on back-order on the 27th of last month and it just shipped out this past Friday the 20th.
Wasn't expecting it to come in before the jeep gets dropped off next week for the other work going into the 35s, but I'm pleasantly surprised.
The discount off-road parts alternative!Who's Saavy?
Ya. I haven’t had the best judgment building my jeep. Just sticking with what I hear and think is best. It’s been expensive and laborious ar best. Is what it is. LolA $170 BL and you have to pay $25 shipping? I hope it comes with stickers, hat, shirt, and it's color matched to your Jeep.
Haven't opened up the box yet, but it was waiting for me yesterday. I'll open it and check the contents sometime today!Good to hear you got them. @Irun please tell me you have yours in hand by now?

And yet again, another great opportunity for you. If it is so overpriced, then you can hop into the market with an exact copy, sell it for much less and make a killing. There are a few things wrong with your assessment though.Nothing wrong with good products/just making Savvy overpriced stuff as God, stupid. Savvy crap isn't any better than other Savvy "CHINA" stuff.
Indeed, the prices have gotten stupid. I purchased a Warn 9.5 XP a little over a year ago for under $1K. Warn M8000 could be had for a little over $500. Now the XP is north of $1800 and the M8000 around $800 - $900. It has just gotten ridiculous and now is impacting my buying decisions.This is the first time in my life that inflation has been noticeable in the short term. It's always been a very slow creep that I didn't really think about except "I remember when this cost x, 15 years ago".
Not a defense but on rare occasions we have something on backorder. We don't let folks buy it because it is damned near impossible to keep track of that stuff and do FIFO.I'm willing to wait on good products. However, what bothered me is the inconsistencies in shipping to customers. One would think that if someone placed an order on 1/05/22, which I did, I'd get mine before others who ordered months after me. That was not the case. I did finally receive both the BL and steering skid that was ordered then. Thankfully, all the parts are there and they are damage free. At least there is that!
FWIW, I mentioned this before, the Savvy BL design is the best out there. It is simple, elegant, and functional.
I understand and can even accept that. The rest of the story is that over a month ago I finally got hold of Savvy. Gerald apologized and assured me he would send one out right away. They didn't send it and several more emails went unanswered. Then, almost 5 weeks after that it shows up. As stated, and you know this because you had a hand in many of their TJ/LJ products, their stuff is worth waiting for.Not a defense but on rare occasions we have something on backorder.

Gerald has the attention span and memory skills of a gnat. Ask him the next time you chat with him.I understand and can even accept that.

Although I may vent, I'm not willing to compromise on American made products that deliver what is expected, i.e. form, function, quality, and even value for the money spent!
It won't.A $170 BL and you have to pay $25 shipping? I hope it comes with stickers, hat, shirt, and it's color matched to your Jeep.
I realize how bad shipping is. That's why I can only afford to buy from companies that have free shipping.A large flat rate Priority Mail box is approaching 25 bucks now. You should check out shipping prices.
A small sample and you can see the box size I used with a 10 lb. weight from SoCal to Virginia.
