15 working days for New Zealand manufactured VERTICAL & ALUMINIUM venetians
Please note: working days exclude weekends, public holidays and factory closure periods such as Christmas 2024/25 factory closures are 19 December until 6 January. The good news is that by ordering over the holiday period we will be processing orders and you will secure your place in the production schedule upon the factory’s return.
IMPORTED
** see below – 35-50 working days for imported HONEYCOMB, FAUX WOOD, ALUMINIUM and PHOENIXWOOD blinds
** see below – 50-60 working days for imported SHUTTERS
** IMPORTED Chinese New Year. The factory closes 25 January and re-opens on the 2 February (factory cut-off times are around 10-14 days prior to this, depending on the product type). This unfortunately means that orders placed after the 13th of January will take longer to get here than usual as it takes the factory a while to catch up on manufacturing after the 1-week annual closure. Generally, there is 3-4 weeks added to manufacturing times when they return to work. Shipping is also disrupted as this holiday affects the entire country and everyone scrambles to get containers out in a hurry when everything is back up and running. We expect shipping to take 1-3 weeks longer than usual in the 6 weeks following CNY.
