4) Chief then sends to us via UPS.

If this is correct, for #3 you are estimating on average 9 months? Is it possible to be longer? It seems to me if business is slow that it could be a lot longer I assume.
If business is slower and the Chinese new year is involved, is it safe to assume 1 year?

I'm not bashing anything just making sure I understand for planning.

On another note, was trying to get some mig-29 tires from Dana and it fell through, do you still have them in stock? (Mains).
If you read back on the post, I have covered the process and how placing your order in different times of the year affect the factory processing and building time. Please review the previous posts. There is never a 9 month waiting period unless there are delays during the new years period in china. All explained above!
