Shipping Policy

Production commences once:

Production timeframes vary depending on the product and order complexity. Estimated lead times will be provided with your quotation and order confirmation.

Depending on your order, we may use:
- Standard Road Freight
- Express Freight
- Air Freight

- Courier Services
The shipping method will be selected based on the size, weight, destination and urgency of your order.
