Expectations for warranty repair timing


All,

I've had a piece of audio gear back with a manufacturer for repair for a month, and want to solicit feedback here on what constitutes an appropriate turnaround time for warranty repair.  This isn't stipulated in the warranty paperwork, and there doesn't appear to be any guidance on this from consumer advocacy organizations, so I'm turning to you all to make sure my expectations are in the right place.  

A month (or more, we'll see) doesn't feel like a reasonable wait time to me, and it doesn't help that my periodic requests for updates have been met with dismissiveness.  Regardless, I'd appreciate hearing from others who have had similar experiences. 

Thanks!

Most of the high end equipment builders are a small to very very small businesses. I had an amp back to the very small business for repair with the builder. It was about 4 months to get it back. It was a routine repair. He repaired it and tested it for a couple of days. I didn't mind one bit. It is an excellent amp and the builder was honest in letting me know it would be a while. I know I do not like to rush a repair or even an original build. And a very small business that stays busy because people are happy to give them business I know it can take a while to get items cared for.
