CTD USA works hard to ship your orders as quickly as possible. Unlike some of our competitors, we actually manufacture the majority of our orders. Real-time production is how we can offer such a large selection of configurations, lengths and colors. Production times are typically between 3-5 business days, but complexity of the product, special customizations and order quantity can extend the production time.
The benefit of ordering from CTD USA is that you get to purchase the product you need, not be forced to select from a limited selection of products a company has sitting in their warehouse. To help get your order delivered the quickest, we offer a large selection of shipping carrier options too. Our primary small package carriers are UPS and US Postal Service as noted below.
At CTD USA, our brands sell four different classifications of products: Stock, Preassembled, Custom Built and Custom Printed. Each class of product requires a different lead time before shipping.
Stock products are finished goods sitting on a warehouse shelf, ready to ship. Stock products usually ship within 1 business day.
Preassembled products are built, but are not fully complete or packaged. They may require a final inspection or speciaty packaging before shipment. Preassembled products typically ship in 1-2 business days.
For custom built orders, the average production time is 3-5 business days, but depends greatly on order quantity. Although 3-5 business days is an average production time, as a manufacturer, our lead time on custom products can vary with current market demand.
Custom Printed products are similar to custom built, but require our printing services also. Printing services include imprinted webbing, printed packaging materials or other materials. Products that require printing services to take extra time to produce. The extra amount of time can vary widely depending on what services the job requires. We recommend contacting customer service for the most accurate lead time when ordering a custom printed product.
If current production time is ever a concern when placing an order, please contact customer service prior to ordering.
Rush Services and Expedited Shipping
Many of the CTD USA products are custom made, so we offer Rush production services and expedited shipping services from our carriers to assist with lead times. Rush production is a fee based service and can be quoted by customer service. Rush production may include same day or next day order completion. Larger orders or more specialized production products may require additional time even with rush production. Each rush order is handled separately and details can be provided by the customer service representative. Shipping of Rushed orders is still subject to carrier cut-off times noted below.
Expedited shipping is considered any shipping service when the carrier's transit time is faster than ground shipping service. Examples of expedited shipping include Next Day Air, Second Day Air, Third Day Select and Priority Express. Expedited shipping services and their associated cost can be seen or selected during the checkout process. The noted price of expedited shipping does not include rush production. Orders including expedited shipping will still be subject to standard production times unless rush production is arranged separately. Orders including expedited shipping are subject to the shipping carrier pickup times as noted below. Orders including expedited shipping, placed after the shipping carrier cut-off times, will be handled the next business. If expedited shipping is selected, Customer Service will contact the customer via email to confirm any required delivery date.
We offer Expedited shipping services as a courtesy to our customers, but we cant guarantee the carriers services. Once the shipment is handed to the carrier, we no longer have control over its delivery timeline. If a problem or delay occurs and the carrier guarantees their service, we will work with the customer and the carrier to attempt to find a resolution.
Shipping Cut-off Times
The shipping carriers pick-up packages on a daily schedule Monday-Friday. We dont offer shipping services on Saturday/Sunday. As a reminder, any custom orders are require a few days to produce.
On your order's scheduled shipment day, cut-off times for the carriers are as follows:
US Postal, 11:00 am PST M-F
UPS, 1:00 pm PST M-F
Changes to the shipping service or carrier must occur before the noted time to be completed.
Tracking Information
Regardless of carrier, tracking information will be sent to the email address used during checkout after shipping has occurred.
Tracking information is provided as a courtesy to the customer, providing as much visibility possible. Once shipping has been processed, CTD does not guarantee the accuracy of the tracking information or expected delivery times posted by the carrier.
Small Package Shipping Carriers
CTD USA uses numerous shipping carriers to handle a wide variety of shipment types. Common shipment types are residential, commercial, LTL and Ocean freight. For our residential and commercial customers, UPS and US Postal are our primary small package carriers.
To explain our small package carrier shipping options better, it is important define Transit Time.
"TRANSIT TIME" is the number of business days it takes a shipment to be delivered after the carrier picks it up.
Transit times are be based on the pick up location, delivery location and carrier service selected. Each carrier has different transit times to different geographical regions. Not all carrier shipping options are available for every customer location. On our website, during checkout, we show the available shipping options for your delivery address.
