The reason behind this poll is that, I sent my e-mag off to ano with whitewolf about 11 weeks ago. I understood the no timeframes policy he has posted on his site and that he will do it when he "gets around to it". I could have in no way imagined an 11+ week wait time. I dont know how much time left or even if he has started because he doesnt seem to respond to my e-mails (last 3 sent were unanswerd) I know whitewolf is a good guy and he is very talented, which is why I choose to go with him, but really should he even offer ano if its gonna take this long? mabey im just depressed that my baby has been gone for so long and im ranting but what do yall think?

why would you call him a nice guy if hes not responding to your e-mails..
Don't be so moddest.. Unless he's on vacation or something, he has no valid reason to not respond to e-mails.

You are by far more trusting that I am bro. No way I could send of my marker with "no time frame" of return...and my marker is a cheapy.Last edited by shivors; 05-30-2004, 06:05 AM.Comment

Well, with all respect, WhiteWolf has been very specific that he can do things cheaper at the risk of an extremely long time frame. I understand that his work is fairly high-quality, and I can only imagine how back-ordered he must get.
My own personal suggestion to him would be this: Stop accepting work once you're a few months backlogged. Might as well let people use their markers instead of sending them away to collect dust.
WW seems like a nice guy, if a bit on the pessimistic side, where customers are concerned, and a little secretive about his identity. (no name to be found anywhere on his site.) Which is... his business. *shrug*
edit: On further inspection, even his domain name WHOIS returns only J White as his name. I think I have a faint idea why he might be so secrative on his name.Last edited by Shykicker; 05-30-2004, 06:08 AM.

He's a cool guy, took about 4 weeks to do some drilling/tapping on my emag frame (stripped the holes out) and polished up my SS body nice and smooth.
Just wait it out. Remember you have 3 choices, but you can only pick 2... Price, Quality, Speed.
You can have price and speed, but it'll suck quality wise.
You can have price and quality, but it'll take a long time
You can have quality and speed, but it'll be expensive.
I chose price and quality, took 4-6 weeks, meh I was happy =)My Feedback

I can only say that if he states he will get to it whenever he can get to it.........your in for a Loooooooooong wait with NO 'expected' turn around. Personally I would never have gone along with that but you have and now seem to be SOL.

From his website's main page:
EDIT- Another quote:Quick notes:
1. Don't IM me and expect a response, the Computer is on but I'm seldom at it email me with any questions.
2. Allow email from AOL users, its the account I respond from. several people have blocked AOL users and have not been getting my email.
3. DO NOT EMAIL ME about when an ano job will be done, I say NO TIMEFRAMES for a reason. If you wanted fast you should have paid the 200$ for single color ano other companies charge.
How did you want it anoed? Since he does it in batches, timeframe likely depens alot on how common your ano scheme is...I no longer bother with time estimates, if something needs to be done is a specific amount of time I suggest any of the other anodizers. Time frames have been too much of a hassle. I wanted to have the lowest prices and best quality, for me to offer that I have to some times hold items until I can get a batch going, or send multiple guns to get better pricing. If I don't have the flexibility with time frame I have to raise my prices to the very high levels other shops charge. I've chosen low prices, they chose quick turn around. You make the ultimate call.
Just wait it out. From the samples I've seen, he does a great job, but I understand he's very busy...

yea,if you got an elaborate ano,such as graphic,or a fade,or acid,it will take a while,or if its in a batch,since most batchs consist of 100+ guns,amidst other things non PB related.Comment

Wich is beyond a single color...so He will have to wait for a bunch of folks willing to get that exact same ano ...besides yours....this could take a looooong time..splash isnt the hot new color scheme right now so not alot of folks will want that on thier marker. Batch ano counts on large #s of people doing the same ano ...they break the cost up between the people...the more heads...the less $$$.
I have sent my SFL e/x mag in over 4 weeks ago ...I ordered a custom ano (pus yellow to infected green acid ) ...I have NO expecatations that Ill see the marker before Sept-Nov...Why ? I know how WW works ...and Im willing to wait so I dont have to pay an extra $200 + that other shops will charge.
I always tell folks that if you only own one marker...dont send it in to get ano work done by WW. You will be without a marker awhile.
I think WW has given MORE than fair warning about how long youll have to wait...if you dont have a full understanding of what NO TIME FRAMES could mean...Id say dont use WW.
Me ...Ill always use WW for my ano work...He gets the job done usualy way beyond what I expect...and its WELL BEYOND what I expected for the money.
Heck you cant even get a decent marker tune up for less than $30 anymore if your Joe Average baller...so $40 for an ano job is a steal." Remember what the door mouse said..."
