That's an excellent question, and one we hear often. The delivery time for a custom order of urban trash cans isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, as it depends heavily on the project's complexity, materials, and quantity. Generally, you can expect a timeline ranging from 6 to 16 weeks from final design approval to delivery.
The process begins with a consultation and design phase, which can take 1-3 weeks. Once designs are finalized and materials are sourced, manufacturing commences. For standard steel or powder-coated models in moderate quantities (e.g., 50-100 units), production typically takes 4-8 weeks. More complex orders involving specialized materials like perforated metal, intricate laser-cut patterns, or integrated smart technology can extend this phase to 10-12 weeks. Following production, we allocate 1-2 weeks for rigorous quality control, packaging, and logistics planning before shipment.
Key factors influencing the timeline include order volume, customization level, material availability, and finish requirements. We always provide a detailed project schedule upfront and maintain clear communication throughout the process to ensure your project stays on track for successful urban deployment.
