How long is production and delivery?
Two stages: production, then shipping
Production
- Stock models: 30 days
- Custom fabric, colour or branding: add around 10 days
- Pre-production sample, if you want one: the clock starts after you approve the spec
Shipping (port to port)
- US West Coast: 18 to 25 days
- US East Coast: 30 to 35 days
- Northern Europe: 30 to 35 days
- Middle East (Jebel Ali): 18 to 22 days
- Australia: 15 to 20 days
On top of that, add customs clearance and inland delivery to your address — those depend on your forwarder and destination, so we don't quote them as our transit time.
What changes the schedule
- Peak season (March to July) — container space out of Ningbo gets tight, book 4 weeks ahead
- Custom branding and Pantone colour matching
- Chinese public holidays — Chinese New Year shuts production for around two weeks
How we keep you informed
We confirm your production slot when the deposit lands, and send photos of the finished goods before shipment. If anything moves, we tell you the day we know, not the day it was due.
Tell us the model, the quantity and your deadline, and we'll confirm the full schedule in writing before you order.
Production and delivery time
Standard models typically run 25 to 40 days from confirmed order and deposit, plus ocean transit of roughly 20 to 45 days depending on destination. Custom colours, branding, or new tooling add time, usually 10 to 20 extra days.
Planning your season
Because outdoor is seasonal, we recommend placing orders 2 to 3 months before your selling season so goods land in time. We confirm a firm production schedule at order and update you at each milestone.
