How Long Does an Order Take from Prototype to Delivery?

Prototype to delivery lead time is confirmed in writing with every quotation. It depends on part complexity, quantity, and current schedule. Prototypes and samples usually ship within 1–3 weeks. Production orders carry a firm delivery date at confirmation. Every production order carries a firm delivery date confirmed at order placement. We flag schedule conflicts before they become delays.

Small batches move faster from our Nanpi base. We source material locally from the surrounding metal cluster. This removes the longest variable, which is raw material lead time. Send your drawing and target quantity to maggie@weizhimetal.com. You will get a written lead time and a free cost review.
