Drew C Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I am interested in ordering a custom Kortwich bag and I was curious for those using these bags how long it took to receive your bag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 about 5 weeks to the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Norflus Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I think it will depend on how many orders they have before yours. From the start of the process mine took about 6 to 7 weeks to the US - but I actually got it about a week after they started to make my bag.

benvdp Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Also about a 5 to 6 week delivery time to New Zealand. Worth the wait. In few phone calls with them i found them very responsive and helpful in identifying the exact specs for the bag i wanted. (788/CL8 combo), and some cables, (also highly recomended). P.S. i am not on their payroll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvanstry Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 If it's one of the current model, 5-6 weeks is probably it. Mine was custom and it took 3 months. Actually 6 but that was back and forth changing things. Once the design was locked, 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Ear Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Mine took about 3 months from design through finished bag. I couldn't be happier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having gone through this 3 times for different Kortwich bags, I can safely say that unless you speak German, contacting the manufacturer is gonna be a frustrating task. This is best left to dealers that have relationships with them. All three of mine have been ordered from Pro Sound in NYC, and it took 3 weeks at the quickest and 6 weeks at the slowest once the order was finalized. The longest part of the process was getting on the same page via email, about all the little bells and whistles I wanted as part of my bags. E.

Constantin Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Having gone through this 3 times for different Kortwich bags, I can safely say that unless you speak German, contacting the manufacturer is gonna be a frustrating task. . Someone at Kortwich is bound to speak English. Some here have mentioned calling then directly, so it seems possible, but I don't know how frustrating it might have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 You can talk to them in English via email no problem - just a satellite delay on replies as they translate stuff. My bag was also a custom rig, but still only took 5/6 weeks. Must have been a quiet month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Norflus Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I went through a dealer and I had several personal email exchanges with them - all in English with no issues. The actual production time on my bag was about a week from the time actual sewing began till the time it was shipped. The whole process - from time of first communication was some where from 5 to 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
