Pre-Sample Pre-Order - Durations and Windows
So what does all that mean? How long is a product in a certain phase, and why will a product that's already in production take three more months to release?
Below is a list of approximate time-windows you can expect for each phase of production, from first sample creation all the way until it arrives at your door.
- First Sample Production (~1 month)
- Second Sample Production (~2 weeks-1 month)
- Final Sample Production (~2 weeks)
- Grace-period for customers to cancel order following final sample release (1-2 weeks)
- Bulk Production (~1 month)
- Delivery to my warehouse (~1 week)
- Delivery to the customer (~2 weeks)
Final Notes
As all of these are pre-sample pre-orders, you are welcome to cancel at any point until bulk production begins. All the "estimate" shipping dates are just that - estimates. Delays are inevitable, but I am always working hard to get these projects to you ASAP.
Thanks so much for your early support. Each supporter that puts their faith in the pre-sample pre-order model helps to create some of the most daring, unique, and high-quality whimsical pieces in the world. We could not do this without you!
