Now that we’ve made it down the road a bit since we started the new company, Ham Supply customers know exactly what to expect from us when they purchase one of our products. If we post that an item “ships next day”, it ships the next day (if not earlier). If we post an item ships January 20th, well then by golly it will ship January 20th (if not earlier)! Transparency. This is how we like to do business. Have you ever ordered a product online, paid for it on the spot, just to find out a month later that it won’t even be produced for another 3 months? I have. And it annoys me. So we do things a little different up here on the hill. Welcome to the new Ham Supply!

Ham Supply will honor warranties for existing Idiom Press products, and once production is resumed, Ham Supply will honor all existing orders placed with Idiom Press after reconfirming them with the customer. Ordakowski has said he intends to have the new business in full operation by the first week of January 2016, although some previously placed orders may ship earlier. HamSupply.com
