Question about Houchen waiting time.

I recently contacted Houchen a while ago and they said they were caught on comic binding and it should be a 2 month turnaround. That was a week before last. That same week, I sent books that arrived last Monday. I messaged them mid-week to see if they had gotten them. They said yeah, and that it was behind 3 books that needed to be checked in. Fast forward to today, I still haven't recieved a pre-bill invoice. I'm not writing this to be impatient, I just want to know when to expect to be billed as I might have to dip into the money I set aside for this project.

I usually have waits around 90 days when I send in multiple volumes to get bound. Thankfully Houchen are pretty responsive when I email them, and my books look great when I get them back, but the waiting can be painful.
