Is Kalium having issues or is this normal?

I've used Circle K/Kalium for years and dig them. There have been a couple orders take longer than I'd expect, but I don't change strings often enough to care a lot about that.

Kalium Strings has become Kalium Music to combine the strings, basses (formerly Knuckle Guitar Works) and the new work on sub-amplification. The new site is up.
A more affordable production 40" or 37-40" fanned scale bolt-on Quake bass, 2000USD.
Sub amplification with ability for flat response to 20Hz.

Note the new contact email addresses on the new main site, hope this helps some people.

They are also present on Twitter and Instagram which hopefully will somewhat help those who are not on FB and are therefore unable to access the FB page.

Sorry, not interested. Last time was enough. This advertisement seems strange in thread like this.

I bought a bunch of strings from 4 people this time around.
Fastest? Kalium, Curt Mangan, and Just Strings - a 3 way tie in terms of number of days to get what I ordered. All shipped the day after I ordered them
4th: (still waiting) BSO
Keep in mind that all of this is apples and oranges - I ordered different strings from different places because I can't get everything I want from one place. The stuff I ordered from BSO was listed as shipping in 1-3 days - it probably isn't stuff he stocks. We're past that time frame at present - I'm used to this, he does eventually come through, so I just make certain I order stuff before I need it. As I ordered custom gauges everywhere, it's not unusual for me to get slower service.

I think I know which one this is. We had a shipment routed to our old location. Have a new one in the way and should be shipping out early next week.

Ordered and paid for a stock 4-string set: the Hybrid balanced 110's. Ordered Nov 23. Not relying on Stamps. Plugged the tracking number into USPS directly. Still listed as pre-shipment. Fortunately, I don't need them immediately, because the bass on which I will put them on is for one of my groups that does not have gigs until 2019. But then I will be leaning on them if I don't have them at that point.

I placed an order on October 25th.

Never got the strings, so I requested (and received) a refund on November 26th

Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I’m interested to know how Kalium is doing these days with regard to their past shipped issues. Have things been worked out?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a thread on Kalium that's a little more recent:
