Frequently asked China Manufacturing questions answered There are some questions that we get asked by most customers, so we thought it would be helpful to share these on our blog: 1. How long are Chinese lead times? Lead times will vary by the size and type of the order, but 90% of production orders manufactured by China Works normally take around 30-35 working days. Tooling takes a similar amount of time for most orders. Most projects have a learning curve, so we would normally add another week or two to initial orders – to account for unexpected issues or problems. 2. How long will our order take to ship over? This depends on the shipping type, but a rough rule of thumb is as follows (the following figures are provided for China to UK) Shipping normally takes 35 days door to door Airfreight normally takes 7-10 days door to door Courier normally takes 3-5 days door to door
