Joymarvin,  please be aware that I ordered from L&W on June 20th, and am still awaiting some confirmation that my bat is ready to be shipped.  Think at best expect turnaround time of approx. 4 weeks.  no doubt the wait will be worth it (one hopes).

That said,  mine wasn't a Signature, but a Private Bin bit of willow.  Maybe signature purchasers receive priority treatment.

Have you contacted them? They usually get back to you promptly. Yes sometimes things happen but they will tell you. It is worth the wait.

Didn't hear from them at all until I dropped them an email a week and half ago to enquire on progress.  They said if I needed the bat urgently they would get it to me by Monday just gone.  As I didn't want them to rush anything, they said they'd have it done by, well, yesterday.  Not had anything back so far notifying me of whether it's complete, been dispatched, etc etc.

So at moment am in bit of limbo wondering when it will arrive.  But as you said, it will (should) be worth the wait.

Hi D7BOW. I just received a reply regarding the weight and here it goes. I stay in a freakish desert country which is known as Dubai, UAE where our winter temps are max 15 to 20 degrees and summers 40+ degrees lol..

We can confirm this dead weight on the scales before the bat is sent. Not a problem Joy. I will have this noted on your order details.
Additional note: Send photo of completed bat on electronic scales with dead weight of 2lbs 6ozs before sending.

Had a holiday in Dubai, stunning place. Weather was ok 42 degrees and 90% humidity!! You should be fine, good luck with the bat and look forward to seeing the bat when she arrives.

I placed my order on June 19th was told around 2 week turn around plus the time in transit. I send them an email on Sunday night requesting updates. This was the response and nothing after that...

"Totally understood mate. Your bat will be leaving the workshop tomorrow. We can then provide you with pics and shipping info."

I would like to say the service overall has been great and Anthony has been prompt responding to my dozens of emails and answering all my questions.

Hi there, I ordered my L&W Reserve on June 18th and it reached Dubai through DHL on July 13. I dont think that signature purchasers receive priority treatment.

I agree with Potzy, they do get back promptly.

Even I was born in Dubai, I cant bear the heat. Due to this we play cricket in the night but the humidity kills. Will surely click pictures and post them here which I am sure I will get her next month.

I agree with you Tejas. Anthony does reply promptly even if you send dozen of emails.

Hi Potzy & D7bow,
Mr Anthony did mention that I have a week and a half to any tweaks to the bat. I was thinking to go for a flat toe with the signature. What do you guys recommend flat or rounded?

Personally I'd always go rounded - I've found flat toes to be more liable to cracking (which is the last thing you want if you're paying $$$!)

Totally up to you mate. I personally don't think it matters but what ever your preference is. I read somewhere that Sangakara liked them flat as it seemed bigger. Each to their own. I would just go for what James thinks.

not sure what a flat/square toe adds to a bat other than appearance. Mine have all been round. Then again your spending a lot of money so have the bat how you want it. Are you going for a lamitoe?

[joymarvin]

Ok Guys, I have decided to go for the rounded toe only..
