8 weeks is a preposterous lead time for a small, relatively simple sign.

They need to either hire/train more people, or get a better organizational system in place.

Or keep the way they are which is quality and not grow into mega company that loses what makes it a great company. Their signs last! They will also repaint the sign for half price if you move Super nice local people to work with to get what you want. They have standard and light up signs.

I think they are in a better position regarding their business model than we are

Go to a market night on one of the squares. There is usually someone there to make your sign. I would purchase from someone locally (a US business) than rely upon a possible foreign dealer on Amazon.

See post #30. There are no more market nights at the squares. You can look for the sign booth at Saturday farmers market in Brownwood.
