Turnaround policy
At Majestic Aluminium Finishing Ltd, we understand that time is of the essence in every metal finishing project. Our commitment to delivering high-quality services is matched by our efforts to provide efficient turnaround times. Below, we outline the expected turnaround times for various services and factors that may impact those times.
Standard Turnaround Time
-
Standard Lead Time: Our typical lead time for most metal finishing services is between 7 to 10 working days, depending on the scope of the project and the complexity of the finish required.
-
Rush Orders: If you need your project completed sooner, we offer expedited services with a shorter turnaround time. Rush orders can be completed in as little as 5 to 7 working days, depending on the service and workload at the time and subject to expedite fee.
Expedited Service Options
-
Same-Day Service (24 Hours): Available for small projects with specific services. The same-day service option is subject to availability and additional fees.
-
2 Day Service (48 Hours Service): In certain cases, weekend shifts can be arranged to meet tight deadlines. Please contact us to discuss this option.
Factors That May Affect Turnaround Time:
-
Size and Complexity of the Project: Larger or more intricate items requiring specialised finishes may take additional time to complete.
-
Volume of Work: High volumes of parts to be finished in a batch may require longer processing times. Please contact us to discuss bulk order timelines.
-
Material Type: Certain metals or substrates may require additional prep work, drying times, or special treatments, impacting the final turnaround time.
-
Finishing Type: Some finishes, such as electroplating, require longer curing times or multiple layers, which can extend the project duration.
-
Environmental Conditions: Weather, particularly humidity or extreme temperatures, can impact coating processes.
-
Customer-Supplied Materials: If the parts or materials provided by the customer are not prepared or cleaned properly, this could extend the time required for finishing.
-
Regulatory and Quality Inspections: Certain finishes may require compliance checks or quality assurance inspections, which may cause slight delays.
Communication and Project Updates
-
Initial Quote: Upon receiving your project specifications, we will provide you with an estimated turnaround time based on the factors mentioned above.
-
Progress Updates: We provide regular updates throughout the project to ensure you are aware of progress. If any unexpected delays arise, we will notify you immediately and offer alternative solutions.
-
Completion Notification: Upon completion, we will send a final notification and arrange for pick-up, as preferred.
Deadlines and Exceptions
-
We prioritise customer deadlines and will do our utmost to meet agreed-upon turnaround times. However, in rare instances where delays are caused by factors beyond our control (e.g., supply chain disruptions, equipment malfunction), we will notify you as soon as possible and work to minimise the impact.
Rush Fees
-
Rush fees may apply for expedited services or requests that require work outside of normal business hours. Fees vary based on the urgency and complexity of the order.
