In stock and shipped are two different dates — here is the one you should plan around

Every buyer under time pressure asks the same question — «is it available?» — when the question that actually protects the project is a different one: when does it leave the warehouse? Those are two dates, not one. Availability is the manufacturer's answer about a shelf. Dispatch is the answer about your delivery date, and between the two sits a week of real work: the order has to be registered with the manufacturer, passed to the warehouse, picked, and packed — stock items are often stored unpacked — before transit even begins.

On this page you find the part of the catalogue that manufacturers keep on the shelf: as a rule the best-selling models, in the sizes and finishes most projects ask for. It exists because deadlines don't move, and because a maker would rather hold stock than lose a fit-out to a shorter lead time. From order to dispatch expect seven to ten days in normal conditions, plus transit to your address; the exact date is confirmed in writing at order confirmation. We would rather tell you that now than explain it later.
