How fast will you respond if my machine goes down?+
Machine down and payment processor outages are treated as critical. We respond within 24 hours, and these issues are triaged ahead of everything else.

If the part is in stock, it ships within 24 to 48 hours. Parts requests that are not standard stock are fulfilled within 3 business days.
