No, manufacturing lead time doesn’t include shipping, it only includes how long the production of your order will take.
When you receive a quote from HLH Rapid, it includes a break-down of the estimated time it will take you to receive your parts. The quote should include:
Manufacturing time
Shipping time
Total Lead time (including both of the above)
Where to find the lead times on your quote? It is located at the bottom of the quote, below pricing:
How long will it take to make my part?
If you would like an estimated lead time to get your part made, send us your CAD drawings and project details using our contact us form or at info@hlhrapid.com. The HLH Rapid team aim to get back to you with a quote within 24 hours.
Pro Tip: How to reduce lead times for faster parts ⚡
These are three simple things most people forget to do that actually speeds up the overall quoting process and manufacturing lead time significantly:
Include all essential files: 2D and 3D drawings and assembly drawings.
Provide all necessary project details: material, surface finish, quantity and any other notes.
Make sure all points are simple, neat and universally understandable.
