How long does the entire process take?
The timetable depends upon two factors: the stationery company you’ve chosen and their geographical location relative to the shipping destination. The average turn-around time, from placing your order to its arrival in the store or to you (everything can be drop-shipped directly), is five weeks. Certain companies we carry are excellent in a pinch (two and a half to three weeks) and we are acutely aware of those requiring more time (six to ten weeks). If you’re feeling rushed, let us assist you with some of our reliable, speedier companies, or, if for example you’ve fallen in love with a small letterpress studio option (the tortoise, not the hare), we can request an in-house rush and get your invitations printed as quickly as possible.
Once a vehicle has been located and purchased, the process will take approximately 6-12 weeks to complete the export process from Japan, ship the vehicle to Canada, import the vehicle, and have the vehicle ready for the customer to take delivery. Allow additional shipping time from Vancouver, BC to your Canadian location. Please note that we can not be responsible for delays in the export process and shipping. There are variables which are beyond our control, such available shipping dates, space availability on the ocean freighters, poor weather, etc. The time needed to locate and purchase a vehicle will vary depending on the circumstances. We are dealing with a used vehicle market. So some vehicles, or certain options on some vehicles, may be difficult to locate and may require more time. Also, with the 15 year restriction, we may be restricted to locating vehicles with specific manufacture years and months, which reduces the number of vehicles available for purchase.
