    Hi,

    Does anyone know why ALL window companies have a 8 to 10 week turnaround for windows, or more importantly, does anyone know of a company that can provide them in a shorter timeframe? Thanks for your help.

    Anything that has to be custom built is going to take time. I'd say you'll struggle to get them any faster.

    8 to 10 weeks is pretty standard. If somewhere said be ready in 4 weeks be worried about the quality.

    My sister ordered from Munster last Sept and there was only a 3 week lead time; Gradys were 12 weeks.

    Thanks all. It's for a outdoor room / garden studio, so I was hoping that some manufactures would have standard sizes in stock... which thankfully seems to be the case after making a few more calls.

    Fairco quoted us 4-8 weeks, windows were in within 4, and door is being put in right now, I want to say 7 weeks after we paid booking deposit.

    I'm waiting 4 months for Rationel or Munster to show up to do the first survey. The mother got a quote from Munster based on measurements Fairco came out and did for her. Fairco were €17k, Munster quoted €9k. Something doesn't add up, and she's waited 2 months for them to actually come out and do a survey.

    I have heard of a massive turnover of Staff lately in a certain Window supplier you mention above

    Which is never a great sign

    I Heard something similar & nearly got burnt do your homework before you buy as you will have no comeback on the money side once they have it.

    Was talking to munster today and was told 2 weeks leadtime from ordering
