The timeframe from the Buyer placing an order to the Manufacturer making the goods may take from 15-40 days depending on the Manufacturer’s available timeframes for making the goods.  The period between October and February tends to be one of the longest manufacturing periods given the large demand for goods from organisations at that time.
