I've ordered from them 2-3 times but it was something they had in stock so it came relatively quickly -- although a gripe I have is the order of 20 yards of wool broadcloth from last year was not packaged all that well. Be prepared for that contingency.
If it is something special like the reproduction door panels they make or one of the original pattern fabrics and they have to reproduce it, that can take quite some time. I haven't dealt with them on anything like that but believe there are some posts on site where a year or two before delivery has been mentioned.

Might be worth a call just to verify the status in case it did have to be manufactured or worse, was shipped and lost.

well I finally was able to get a hold of a living breathing person who stated they are waiting for a new shipment of material; and when they get it I will receive it.

My own single experience with SMS was, in a few words, marginally acceptable but no more. It was for the woven brocade cloth on the non-leather side of 56 Caribbean seats. I understand the need to wait until enough orders accumulate to make a run worthwhile, but the entire process was wrought with non-returned phone calls, false delivery information, one delivery with the incorrect material, etc. They really didn't understand the meaning of "customer service" and from what I hear, they still don't.
I'd source from SMS what I had no other choices to select from, but for leathers, vinyls, and all manner of wool broadcloths and Bedford cords, they are plenty of other sources with as good or better products that are far more pleasant and reliable to deal with.

I ordered the green cloth for my 56 400 after several "knowledgeable" PAC members told me it was not available.
They also grained both colors of leather (green,white) for me. They were prompt but expensive.
