BUYER GUIDE
What procurement teams should confirm.
These are the current starting terms. Product-specific specifications, pricing and obligations are finalized in the quotation, PI and order specification.
Choose the correct schedule
Ready stock is the fastest route. Logo printing, strap or packaging changes need additional preparation. New tooling or structural development requires the longest review and production window.
Sample approval
Standard samples are normally prepared in 3 days. Availability, sample price and whether the fee can be credited to a later order are confirmed before proceeding. Deep OEM sample approval can add 7–15 days.
What starts the lead-time clock
A reliable delivery plan requires an approved model list, quantities, artwork, customization scope, packaging requirement and the agreed payment milestone. Shipping time is separate from preparation or production time.
Projects that may take longer
Complex mechanical projects may exceed 60 days. Delays can also result from revised artwork, changed specifications, new tooling or a sample that requires another approval round.
