Normally factories like this will make you pay for tooling and you own the tooling. There are lots of quality injection mold companies out there that can do the job I’m sure.
You might want to make sure you have a new company lined up who sounds reasonably confident that they can use another company’s molds before you cut the old one loose. Show them your sample pieces and they should be able to figure out how the molds work by inspecting the parting lines and fill positions.
Matching colors might be the biggest hurdle. Too bad that other company can’t get it together.
It is just embarrassing at this point. THEY gave me a date of AUG 10th. It was THEIR date! So I hinted that release “could” be SEPT 10th…. giving them an entire MONTH extra just in case.
They have not returned my last inquiry… which means they are not done yet and know I will blast them.
I believe revisiting your contract with this company is in order.
Perhaps a rider that states they do not get paid until certain objectives are met, on time (or in a timely manner). If those objectives are not met in a timely manner, then concessions need to be made in your favor. If not, then you take your molds and go elsewhere (although that unfortunately involves incurring extra cost, no company truely worth being in business is going to risk losing business)
