I would like to know your thoughts.
I hope I am not turning away potential customers. But, that said, I do not want to become simply a ukulele warehouse. A Cosco of sorts of the uke. I have about 12 cool ukuleles in inventory at present. I sold one already and have a deposit on another. I have so far only shipped the one. I get inquiries, but not sure if it is turning buyers off that I tell them it isn't ready to ship quite yet. In a week or so it will. But, as many see that as bad news, I just don't want to ship one that I am not 100% comfortable that it is playing as it should. I want to not just set them up, but I also want to play it for a few days afterwards to be sure it is set up as I would want it set up. I like to spend time with each, because I may see something the next day that I missed the day before. They all go through this. And when I am feeling the uke is playing as it should, and sounding as it should. Then, I feel good about putting it in someones hands to enjoy. So far I am 1 for 1. The guy that got the one I have shipped, absolutely LOVES his new uke and says it plays and looks like he paid twice the price. That makes me feel good (but also makes me feel I should charge twice the price hahha..j/k) But, I want to maintain that.
Is this a bad thing? Or do you want your uke as fast as possible? Or would you rather be patient and feel better that the seller is doing his/her best that you have a great experience when you open up your prize?
