Standard items are subject to our regular lead time of 2-4 weeks (some are ready much sooner see READY TO DESPATCH items) and custom orders/ variations and large multiple item orders can take a little longer. As the season gets busier I prefer to have enough time not to have to rush any orders.

I do have a selection of items that are quick to despatch within 2-5 days working days of receipt of payment. 

Please be aware that custom variations will take a little longer as not every variation is available for immediate despatch, If you order additional items that need to be customized or are not "quick to despatch", the regular lead time will apply to the entire order. (please message me your deadline so I can schedule accordingly)
