Turn Around Time For Hobbie's KnitwearDemand for our custom knit "wizard wear" sweaters and scarves peaked around 2007 at the height of the Harry Potter© phenomenon. Since 2009, we've been busy all year around, with knitwear orders [Harry Potter©, RENT©, Anime and other custom knits] coming in from a variety of sources - not just the Wizard Wear Store. Although the original turn around time policy was established based on ordering trends from previous years, the steady growth over the years was the result of orders coming in all year around rather than just seasonally, as for Halloween or for scheduled Harry Potter© events. As a result, our production queue now fills up even more rapidly! Yes, the demand for Harry Potter inspired knits has gone down considerably but it has been replaced by orders for other costuming knits - in other words, we remain busy, especially prior to Halloween. Turn around time is now dictated by the volume of orders we receive from all sources. Recently, one such "busy" month filled up over a three day period. As a result, we cannot anticipate know how rapidly the monthly production slots will be filled.
Delivery dates go from one month to the next. Once the production schedule for a particular month is "fully booked" with NEW orders, the delivery date is pushed forward to the following month. Update: As of August 26, 2010, all October production slots are booked. The delivery date for new orders is Nov. 2010. Pushing the delivery date forward only affects NEW orders. It does not alter existing orders and their scheduled delivery.
Factors Which Affect Turn Around Time
Please note that all our products are custom knit to personal specifications - either to size or color. We considered carrying an inventory but soon discovered that custom features are requested more often than not...so we were customizing 98 out of 100 items! Sweaters and scarves are hand finished, one at a time. Each and every order goes through the same assembly process using established garment construction steps, with careful attention to detail.
DisclaimerHobbie's House of Wizard Wear collection of custom knit sweaters, scarves, vests and cardigans are neither official nor licensed products. These heirloom quality knits are merely reproductions of our own design. We strive to make these, and other costuming pieces, as authentic looking as possible with the use of high quality materials, accurate colors, attention to detail and superior workmanship. |
