For Classic and Classic Enhanced Services, plan for a 6-10 week delivery timeframe.If you are interested in receiving a prototype prior to the production process,allow 8-12 weeks from design to delivery.
The following will expedite the delivery of your product:
- Choose fabrics that are from our stock selection.
- Select classic designs from patterns that have already been developed.
- Proceed without a prototype (this is not an option for Premiere Services).
- Adhere to times tables provided in Step One of the ordering process.
- Order standard sizes.
The following will delay delivery of your product and may add costs to the process:
- Fabrics out of stock from the manufacturer (we recommend having
secondary choices as a back-up plan).
- Specialized or unusual material and supply preferences that involve sourcing.
- Not adhering to schedule provided in Step One of the ordering
process.
- Making changes to the design.
- Selecting designs that involve complex patterning.
- Requesting more than one prototype.Add a minimum of 2-3 additional
weeks to each request for an additional prototype.
- Highly customized fitting requests that involve extensive patterning.
