They must make these forms as needed as im two weeks behind getting my order and recieved an email this morning that said they wont be shipping untill July 9th because they are still making the corners i need.
I ordered 4" of foam on exterior and 2.5" on interior.

Its probably a good thing considering the lead time on INLINE windows is 4 weeks alone. |

When I bought TF System ICFs, the company asked for two weeks notice with payment upfront. The foam panels are made to order, not stocked.
BTW:
Be prepared when the forms arrive at your jobsite. You are responsible for unloading the cargo, not the truck driver. Discuss your unloading strategy with TF System ahead of time to avoid problems. The forms usually are shipped in a van type (covered) trailer. I was planning to unload the forms with a boom truck, so I arranged to ship the forms on a flatbed trailer. The bundles were too tall, though. I had to scramble to get a forklift on site to do the job. Even with a rough terrain forklift, the job is a delicate one. Fortunately, I had a capable operator on hand. You can breakdown the pallets and unload them by hand, but you'll need lots of help to get the job done quickly. My freight hauler would have charged an additional fee if it had taken more than two hours to unload. Also, I recommend leaving the forms bundled on their pallets so that they are less vulnerable to the weather. |

John, Thanks once again for selecting TF System. I looked up your order and if it is the one I am thinking of (in Maine) all the material is here in our warehouse. The corners are the parts we are waiting for. They were ordered on the 23rd of June. We will ship them on July 7th and you will receive them tentatively on the 9th. Which will fall into the 2 week lead time on non-stock materials. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please feel free to give us a call with any questions or comments.
See the manufacturers do watch this board. |

Thanks TF, yes indeed I need to call you. About exactly where to meet you so I can drive you to the lot. Also curious about what the guy above says, about having my own forklift there to unload.
GC wasnt aware nor was I.
