Lead Time Options
Ordering Information
The following prototype and pre-production shipping options are available for
raw metal parts. Add two business days for plated parts. Painted and
powder coated parts typically require additional time:
Expedited 48 Hour Ship
At times Rapid Sheet Metal is able to ship parts in 48 hours after receipt of order and acceptable 3D files. In order to do so, we require a 3D model at the RFQ stage that can be turned into a flat without engineering. This applies for unfinished parts only; plating and painting add time. Hardware can be inserted if it is in stock or can be obtained within 24 hours.
Orders must be received by 8:00 PM EST. For example, an order received at
11:00 AM on a Monday would ship no later than Wednesday for Thursday delivery via
FedEx Overnight or UPS Red.
There is a 50% premium for 48 Hour Ship services.
