Notes to Our Loyal Customers:

Well folks, That didn't last too long, Yellow Bases and Pink Bases are now out of stock, and so are the Yellow Top Disks, but they have been ordered. My best guess is six weeks, or right around July 15th (but I've been wrong before).

Dang, if people would just stop ordering we could get caught up!

All kidding aside, in an effort to keep costs down and therefore the price to you, our customers, down as well, we are batching orders. What this means is that we are holding orders until we get a dozen or so and then making them all at once. One reason for this is that the new glue we are now using costs about 50 cents per pump, up from about one cent per pump with the old glue. It seems the old glue contributed to the cracking base problem that plagued us for quite a while. The old glue was cheap, $10 a pint. The new glue is $15 an ounce.

Another reason we batch orders is that we can give our part time help a full day's work rather than a few hours here and there. And you all know that a full day's work is always more productive than working just a few hours a day, what with reading the paper, coffee breaks, fire drills, bathroom breaks, fluffing our pillows, sharpening our pencils, and, of course, the all important cocktail hour (sometimes refered to as liquid lunch.)

The bottom line is a two to three week delay between the time you place your order and the time we ship. But, we're now building bases in the most popular color combinations in anticipation of orders as a means of speeding up this process. What this means is that if you order a color combination that we have previously made, your pump will ship in only a few days rather than a few weeks. This doesn't work with every order, of course, but it works with quite a few. Our goal is a week or less between your order and our shipment.

If you are thinking about ordering a Filbert Pump be advised that the wait may be as much as three weeks.
If you need a pump for an upcoming event plan ahead and order early.
And, please tell us that you need it by a certain date and we will do our best to meet the deadline.

If the base of your Filbert Pump has cracked contact us for a free replacement.

We believe we have solved the e-mail problem that has been plaguing us for some time now. If you have any problems sending us e-mail please contact us via telephone at 518-765-4585, or e-mail us at
filbertpump @ earthlink.net, and let us know what is happening. This will help our webmaster solve the problem.
