Aero Hunter Kestrel Flex

I ordered the original kestrel..due to ship Aug. 2nd...no email saying I've been pushed back so maybe just something with the flex model
 
Ordered the orig kestrel as well. Only the original one email saying 9/13 ship date. No email since.
 
I’m thinkin it’s just issues with the flex also. I ordered a kestrel 6/29 and haven’t received anything saying my dates have changed. Fingers crossed that’s the case anyway
 
I just emailed Aero asking for an update as my order continues to get pushed back as well. In the email I also asked if the "bridge costs" could be refunded/the flex mailed out without a bridge for those of us who plan on using something other than what comes with the saddle. Will update when I hear back.

Order #4465, Order Date 5/30/19 - Flex/ASAT/Size2/RopeBridge
 
If I remember right, I read that they will not ship without a bridge due to safety regs. No email yet here. Ordered mid july so probably will get it For late season January hunt. Thank the deer gods for backup kits.

You should just call them. I called yesterday about a small order and Debbie answered on the 2nd ring and answered my question immediately. They are easy to reach.
 
Flex 5/28 = 7/12 @ 4403
Shipped from: NEW TRIBE, INC. 07/30/19
Received my shipping notice today. I am excited to see this day. I am sure Areo is doing what they can to please their customers.
 
I just got the dreaded 2 week push back email. And I have ordered just the original kestrel.
Ordered: 7/11
Original ship date: 9/13
Updated date: 9/27

Cool- exactly one day before season. That's an 11 week lead time! On a brand new product, I understand (Flex); but on a older product? C'mon!!
 
Ordered one yesterday (16 July 2019). Will post eta when I get the email.

Edit - Just received an email today (24 July 2019). ". . .longer delays than expected, due to the extremely large volume of order and back orders from our suppliers." Expected shipping is 27 September at the latest, maybe a little earlier if suppliers are on time.

So it's looking like about two months from order to ship which I can live with. My fault for waiting.

Also just got another email again setting my shipping date to 27 September. My guess is the first was a reply to my inquiry email to them, the second email was automatic.

Cancelled my flex, wont get here until the last week in September. I am a novice to saddle hunting and wont' feel comfortable adjusting to a new system in that short of a time-frame............next year.
 
Good call, hopefully you dis t sell your summit yet. When will we learn that this is an annual event?

I’m sorry I would feel Amiss. If I didn’t mention “ I told you so” everyone talking about how Aerohunter was ready and set up for this. There are things out of a MFG control and when they run zero inventory they get behind.
Anyone ever figure out how many Saddles aero Hunter is selling a week right now? I feel they will be even farther behind with the Wildedge launch.

You mean 6/5? The flex launched in mid-May (i think).
 
I ordered a Kite on 7/21 and called today to see if the flex delays would impact sending out the Kite. sounds like it will as my expected Shipping date is 10/4....
 
I canceled my order because of their customer service and ordered through Tethrd.. I was tired of receiving false hope emails lol
