Plan realistic shipment, sample and production timing for in-stock glassware, custom laser logo, fired high-temp decals, UV printing, screen printing, wooden boxes and custom gift box packaging before confirming your order.
Fast reference: shipment and customization timing
The schedule below uses the timing rules confirmed by Jingyue Glass. Final dates still depend on SKU availability, artwork readiness, production queue, packaging complexity and payment confirmation.
Fastest shipping route
Confirmed in-stock glassware can usually be dispatched within 2 days after order and payment confirmation.
Fastest custom logo route
In-stock glassware with laser logo sample proofing can usually be dispatched within 1 day after artwork confirmation.
Packaging affects timing
Wooden boxes, color boxes and gift boxes require separate proofing time before bulk pack-out.
