Short answer: after the sample is ordered and paid for, typical terms add up to about 4 to 6 weeks from the start of the sample to the end of the bulk run, plus the days you take to approve the sample. The quote confirms the real dates.
The phases
| Phase | Typical duration | Who controls it |
|---|---|---|
| Brief to quote | We reply within 1 business day, with questions or a quote | ArtzFolio |
| Paid sample | Typically 1 to 2 weeks | ArtzFolio |
| Sample review and approval | Your time | You: use the sample approval record |
| 50% advance | Payment is 50% advance, balance as agreed | You |
| Bulk run | Typically 3 to 4 weeks after sample approval and the 50% advance | ArtzFolio |
| Freight | Goods ship EXW Noida; we assist with the logistics | You arrange it, with our help |
The arithmetic
| Your review time | Sample plus bulk, shorter end | Sample plus bulk, longer end |
|---|---|---|
| 0 days | 1 + 3 = 4 weeks | 2 + 4 = 6 weeks |
| 7 days | 4 weeks + 7 days = 5 weeks | 6 weeks + 7 days = 7 weeks |
| 14 days | 4 weeks + 14 days = 6 weeks | 6 weeks + 14 days = 8 weeks |
These figures come from the typical terms ArtzFolio publishes and are not a delivery promise. Freight time is extra. Ask for the lead time to be counted from sample approval, as the lead times explained guide suggests.
