We have now received an email from the manufacturer with some precise details about the manufacture & despatch of orders:

"Dear Phil,
I am sorry to inform you that the paint will be deliverd the 1st or 2nd September. Our schedule is as follows:
-          on the 2nd we will prepare the paint for printing
-          on the 3rd (Saturday) we produce the first 500 plates
-          in week 5-9 September at least 150 plates will be shipped on Friday
-          in week 12-16 September at least 250 plates will be shipped on Friday

Naturally, as soon as we receive the actual order numbers invloved, we will publish the Order Date ranges involved in this News Section. You will find your order date on the acknowledgement originally sent to you, or in the subject box of the email we have sent to you advising of the delay in despatching your Delft Plate order.

Thanks again to all of you have waited so patiently for your Delft orders. At last we have some concrete information regarding despatches.

Faithfully, Jennie Matthews & Phil Hertel - Directors
