Hello.
This is mammy from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time, I would like to thoroughly explain what "factory production" and "delivery date priority" mean in relation to delivery dates when arranging YKK zipper.
There are two main ways to order YKK zipper .
Please choose the delivery method that best suits your desired delivery date.
zipper are produced from scratch at YKK factories.
We will arrange the zipper type, color, slider, length, etc. according to your specifications.
We can accept any quantity from 1 to any number of bottles.
・About delivery date
For standard products it takes about 3 to 4 weeks, but this can vary depending on the workload of the factory's production line, the number of items ordered, and the specifications.
・Price
Since we only produce a set number of items, there is no waste and prices can be kept down.
The prices displayed on ApparelX are the prices if the item were produced in a factory.
We shorten the length of long zipper we have in stock and process them.
We can accept orders for quantities as small as one unit, but as we only fulfill orders from stock, we may not be able to accept orders depending on the specifications.
Additionally, because zipper come in a wide variety of types, lengths, sliders, tape colors, and element types, we do not stock all zipper.
Since we only stock a limited number of zipper and tape colors, if delivery time is a priority, we may suggest alternative colors or elements.
Please note that some types of zipper can only be produced in factories.
・About delivery time
If you need just a few bottles, we can arrange for them to be delivered in a few days, but if you need a large number of bottles or depending on how busy we are, it may take a week to 10 days.
・Price
Since stock items are shortened and manual processing is involved, additional charges are incurred on top of the factory production price.
It depends on the type of zipper.
・About alternative products
If the zipper you want is not in stock, we may make the following suggestions.
- Tape colors are similar (similar colors)
・The zipper part number itself will change, but it will be a similar product.
・The slider is similar in shape
When ordering zipper, we recommend that you choose factory production or processed production, taking into consideration factors such as cost and delivery time.
Depending on the type of zipper, delivery may take some time, so we recommend placing your order with plenty of time to spare!
