It depends. I ask for 1-3 weeks delivery time.
It takes 1-2 hours to get the case put together, then several days for the lacquer application. Unfortunately, it is a delicate process and I can get all the way to the last coat of lacquer and it'll smudge, pit or bubble up on me and if I can't sand it out, I have to remove everything and start all over again!
It's hand-applied, so some imperfections are to be expected, but I won't send out a case if it's excessive. I've had some cases I needed to redo 3 or 4 times!Also, if the customer requests a custom graphic, that adds time. I have to format the graphic (sometimes redesign the whole thing - I have a hummingbird one I did for a customer I'm working on now that was a challenge to fit on the case) and then get it to print out right. I go through a lot of ink, paper and lacquer, as you can imagine, lol!
Right now I'm working on orders from 4/11 - 4/14 and I expect to ship them Friday. So, I'm at about 2 weeks out right now.
I'll get quicker with practice, but if orders pick up, it'll probably keep the timeframe pretty much the same.
This batch is shipping out Monday!!
This new 5" faux turquoise on brushed silver belongs to Catherine S. - very sleek:
(It looks light blue in this pic, but it is darker and more marbled green/blue turquoise colors in real life!)
Bob P. is getting this historical 5" Egyptian papyrus on brushed gold:
Stacy W. and her hubby got a 5" faux diamond plate on brushed silver for him and a custom hummingbird graphic, also on a 5" brushed silver case, for her:
This stunning Van Gogh "Starry Night" case is on a 7" brushed silver for Lena W. It has a brushstroke finish that almost makes it look painted onto the case:

They look great, Kristin! I love, love, love the Egyptian one. It was difficult to choose between it and the Book of Kells. I guess I'm going to have to find a reason for another one. Of course, Starry Night is gorgeous too.

Thanks Lilibet!
I know - I was so excited to see someone order the Egyptian Papyrus and the Van Gogh - two of my favorites! (Of course, a lot of them were favorite and that's why I offered them in the first place. But for a while there is seemed like so may people were only going for the rainbow vapor case! lol

I absolutly LOVE my case!!! I could not ask for anything better. Thank you so much Kristin. I know I wrote this in another thread but it's just so darn pretty and I think everyone should have one of these lil jewels. Thank you again and keep up your awesome work
Not really. I don't have the capability to do that.

Hey, don't you have an eGo? I'd love to get a nice picture of your eGo setup in the case. I've been watching the Janty thread where they just unveiled the prototype for their new case and it seems a really awkward setup to me?? VapeBoxz 7" cases could probably hold an eGo with the XL battery too. I've been trying to get the eGo owners looking for a case to look at my VapeBoxz!!
I love those Tree of Life birthstone cases. They are my favorite. Why didn't I think to tell my kids I would like one for mothers day darn
