Production & Lead Time

At Vandal Stop Products, all items are proudly handcrafted in the USA using American-sourced stainless steel. While we are expanding our in-stock inventory, most products are made to order to meet your specific needs.

Made-to-Order Production Lead Times

Our general estimated production lead times are as follows:

• Quantity 1 - 10: Approximately 4 to 6 weeks
• Quantity 11 - 50: Approximately 4 to 8 weeks
• Quantity 51 - 100: Approximately 6 to 10 weeks
• Quantity 101 - 200: Approximately 10 to 16 weeks
• Quantity 200+: Please call for an estimate

Important Notes on Lead Times:

• Seasonal Delays: Please anticipate potential production delays during November, December, January, and February due to holidays and possible winter weather disruptions.
• Supply Chain & Demand: Due to increased demand and potential supply chain fluctuations, production may require additional time. If you have a critical delivery date, please call or email us to verify current lead times before placing your order.
• Delivery Dates Not Guaranteed: Please note that all lead times are estimates. We do NOT guarantee delivery dates.

In-Stock Products

We are continually working to expand our inventory of in-stock items for faster fulfillment. Quantities available for immediate shipping are displayed on the respective product page, if applicable.

• If you order items that are in stock, we will ship them as soon as possible.
• If the quantity you require exceeds our current stock, your entire order will be queued for a production run based on the lead times above.
• To receive in-stock items quickly when ordering more than available: You must submit TWO separate orders.
  1. Place an order for the quantity currently in stock.
  2. Place a second order for the remaining balance needed.
  We will ship your first (in-stock) order promptly and queue your second order for production.
  Example: If we have 10 units of Item X in stock and you need 15, place one order for 10 units and a separate second order for the remaining 5 units.

Rush Shipments

For orders requiring expedited production, a 20% rush service charge may apply to the order total. Rush services are subject to availability and production capacity. Please contact us directly before placing your order to discuss rush options.

Important Considerations for Rush Orders:

• The rush service prioritizes your order in our production queue.
• If you are trying to meet a particular project deadline, you may provide this date to us. We will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
• However, even with the rush service charge, we do NOT guarantee delivery by a specific date. While we will make every reasonable effort, the rush fee expedites production but does not ensure delivery by a fixed deadline due to potential external factors and carrier timelines.

Shipping Information

Most small orders are shipped via UPS Ground. Larger orders may be shipped via LTL Freight. As shipping is handled by third-party carriers, we do NOT guarantee delivery dates.

• Estimated Transit Times (after production):
  • UPS Ground: Typically 5 to 7 business days within the lower 48 states.
  • LTL Freight: Typically 1 to 2 weeks, potentially longer.
• These are estimates provided by carriers and can vary based on current industry conditions, weather, and carrier operations.
