All production schedules are based on business days.

Factory Direct Service

10 week production time for orders that are typically 5,000 pieces or more. Factory direct orders are custom manufactured in Asia to the specifications on the purchase order and shipped into Australia by container ship. This is the most economical method of production allowing for significant cost reductions on larger orders. We can further customize any order by doing custom colours, special packaging, custom molds, multiple colour logos and many other options. Production time can be

shortened on factory direct orders by air shipping some or all of the order. This typically saves 3-4 weeks, and is quoted on a case by case basis due to fluctuations in the cost of air freight. Our 5 week overseas production time is the same as above but shipping is through air freight. Please contact us for current pricing.

The factory reserves the right to change carriers to meet an in hands date on the purchase order and invoice customer accordingly for the shipping, even when it is requested to bill on a 3rd party account.
