We solved the time-of-delivery problem by having a day-at-a-glance wall calendar under the words "Orders placed today will be ready after". We also had a visual chart with the orders that were already in-house. If they were still interested we put the possible date right on their signed receipt.

We solved this problem by having a quality item we made next to a mass produced item. If asked why the difference in price, we'd point out the difference in workmanship.
