> estimated delivery 4-6 weeks

Sorry, in the age of near-immediate gratification from Amazon, up to 42 days until I see the product I paid for is a huge turn off.

Cut that down to 5-7 days and I'll have my wallet out in seconds.



I can appreciate the eagerness to get everything instantly. However I hope you can appreciate that physically cutting and shipping lots of stuff that was only announced to the world 12 hours ago takes time. I wish hardware was as easy as pushing something to Git hub but unfortunatly it is not.

You are always welcome to go order the parts and cut the cardboard yourself.

Most likely we will use a laser cutter but if we get enough orders we will have them diecut.

Also a cutting plotter would dull very quickly cutting through corrugated so edges would not be as clean.

If you frequently find yourself angry that you can't buy a new package Amazon-style less than 12 hours from its announcement to the general public, I would suggest you seek professional help as you might be able to improve your impulse control.


"a huge turn off" != "find yourself angry"

I agree the parent's attitude is a bit silly, but you are putting words in their mouth.
