There's one thing some tanneries neglect to tell you:

the two month turn around time begins from the day they actually punch code your skins in. They may sit in storage for two months prior to them doing that. It usually is in the fine print but oh so easily overlooked. Asking for your cape back now may still incur a "storage" fee. I'd check first. We live and hope to learn, good luck

As Kristoph said, they have tons of work. Now what do you think their response is going to be if you ask them to dig ONE hide out of the 25,000 they have laying around in various stages of work. I know what I'D tell you and I'll bet I'm pretty close.
