I ordered a Vulcanette C for my Olympus Pen FV on February 18th and exchanged emails with Morgan right away.
I received the order on April 8th. Morgan included a hand written note apologizing for the long wait.
Perhaps he is just experiencing a high number of orders lately. I am sure you don't have anything to worry about.

Huh, I've been waiting for a month and have heard nothing, even after an email ping last week.

Thats what happened to me. But when I got the leather there was a note apologizing for the delay. I am amazed at the quality of the leather.

If you put yourself out there as a vendor, you owe it to your customer to provide your product or service in a timely manner or at least explain delays in shipping.
While most people are patient, there is a limit. I think at one point, it had been eight weeks, and when he finally replied, I had to remind him what I had ordered -- in two separate e-mails.
As I said before, I really like the materials that he offers, but I think his turnaround time is unacceptable and unreliable and his response to customer inquiries is the same. Especially given the fact that he requires payment upfront.

If it weren't so cheap I would be hopping mad.

Morgan's been sending me a strip of grey griptac in three days. That ain't too bad, considering it's international mail. Here it is on my IIIf RD ST:

The vulcanite on my IIIc has started to break away in places, and I was looking for a good cheap way to fix/replace it. The Levant Black looks perfect.
How are you guys sticking this onto your camera's?

Drewus, these skins are adhesive-backed. Piece of cake.
As for cameraleather...coming up on three months and no griptac for my Zorki, and no emails returned. In contrast, I just ordered a new covering for my Pentax LX from Aki-Asahi, it came in a week from Japan, and it looks great...

The leather itself is great, I'm very happy with it. And yes my last order took some months to arrive.
I can live with occasional delays. I don't want $xx added to each item to cover the wages for someone in admin.

Anybody know where you can buy Griptac sheets? Last time I asked Morgan, he was reluctant to sell which I understand.

Last year I ordered a couple of sheets of seal grain, which never arrived. Meh. No big. The packaging Morgan uses to ship in sometimes gets lost in a big stack of mail. And it wasn't that much money. And I came up with a more attractive solution for the need.
More recently I have ordered kid leather for a Kiev and griptac for a Pen-FT: both arrived within days of ordering. IMO the quality of these offerings is second to none - worth waiting a little extra for.
