Stumped Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Anyone know the usual time it takes for Bob's to send a mold out? I sent an order on Sunday expecting to possibly ship over these last few days but I never heard anything from them. I sent an email today but no reply. This is my first time ordering from them so I didn't know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm assuming you mean 3 days ago? Shipping from AZ to CT will take a little time, and remember......not all companies notify when an item is shipped. Personally, if I ordered ANY mold, I'd give it a couple weeks before being concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stumped Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Oh I'm not bashing them or concerned. I was just curious to see if I would be notified or even the average turn around time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor1595 Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 most molds are cut to order so usually looking at a week or so depending on backlog. Great guy to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I ordered two molds from them, and they sent me a USPS tracking number. I ordered on the 10th, and it's shipping today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATFLATTIE Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 Depending on the mold it can take a week or so to ship, at least that has been my experience. They have too notch customer service, I would not be the least bit worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wrong. There was no tracking number, but they did notify me when my order shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBehr Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I've ordered some molds from them with no issues on their part. Very high quality molds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 That's how Basstackle got started. Bob is Kevin's uncle. Great guy, just not big on computers.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 That's how Basstackle got started. Bob is Kevin's uncle. Great guy, just not big on computers.... They are cousins and about the same age. Both great guys. Just shows they were brought up right. and they were brought up in a machine shop so that tells you a lot about them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 I knew they were related, Frank. Most of my molds came from Bob.I don't think anybody else made alum molds other than Del back then and 1/2 were open pours. I use to buy his prototypes from Javier when he was done with them and have Bob reproduce the ones I liked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use to buy his prototypes from Javier when he was done with them and have Bob reproduce the ones I liked. Here is a little more history. Bob and Del were once partners making molds. You see how that turned out. When they split Bob did his own thing and made the money minnow. That was sold to Yum. I believe at the time Kevin was helping him out and started to make some of his own designs thus Basstackle was born. Basstackle and Bobs then joined then Bob and Kevin were working together on both big molds and small ones. Both of there designs were on the site. If you followed the progression at all they were putting out new molds at an alarming rate. Mainly because there was two of them designing. Don't know what happened but they split and we have what is two company's producing great molds. Both of them are born into the machining trade and you can tell they know what customer service is. I could not believe that Bob and Del were partners, that blew me away when Bob told me that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not believe that Bob and Del were partners, that blew me away when Bob told me that. According to Del, he was helping Bob (Bob had the machinery and Del had the knowledge LOL) and when he sorted out his own equipment and shop Bob kept all the CAD/CAM files on the computers, which all the good designs were all his. So basically saying Bob stole all his designs LMAO. I'm one of the ones that is waiting on a couple molds from over 6 years ago so I trust everything he said about as far as I can throw him. LMAO. Never had a single bad experience with Bob though. Hey Richard, I am still waiting for a twin tail lizard open pour from well over 6 years ago.

Frank Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Well when Bob told me about them being partners I might have missed some of the details(cause I was laughing to hard) so forgive me if the story is off a little bit. As for being someone's designs I think we all know who had the designs first and still does. Maybe it is just me but the real good designers have a style about them and it shows in the molds they produce. A lot of people think making molds is easy and for some it is but you can see easy in the mold design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Prager Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Yeah, you can tell styles for sure, Frank...Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving...hey, I finally got to meet Romeo after all these years. His twins and my kids caught a couple of 5lb peacocks in the backyard! Love your video and pass them around. Most won't share diddly in the hobby/business. I commend you and Solar for that. You are a natural teacher......I apologize for hijacking this thread but a Happy and safe Thanksgiving to all the TU member new and older than me!

elrat69 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Anyone having problems contacting Bob lately????????????? I purchased 2 molds 11/28 finally received them today 12/26 in the mail. Looks like someone took a scotch brite pad to the venting side plate. I"m 100 percent confident these will not shoot just looking at it. All the vents are completely sanded out. I have never had a problem with him before. But this purchase is completely ridiculous; box is heading back to Phoenix on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
