About production time

Since it has been November, many customers begin to finalize the orders after long-term discussion and confirmation, and would like to get makeup brushes before the Christmas Holiday. Therefore, huge orders pour into the makeup brush factory, but the normal lead time of makeup brush factory is about 30 days or more after confirming samples. So, if customers can not confirm the samples before Nov 20^th, it is somewhat impossible to get makeup brushes before Christmas Holiday.

 

Some customers are really urgently in need of the brushes for holiday promotion, they even hope to pay extra fee to expedite the production of their brushes, while usually it is hard to expedite too much.

 

Some customers then ask about our production capacity, and after knowing our production capacity is about 200kpcs per month, they are really puzzled about why we need so many days to produce their orders.

 

In fact, although we declare 30 days as the normal lead time, the real production time may just about 10 days. That is because our material supplier also need time to produce or prepare materials. Usually, most Chinese makeup brush factories do not stock any material. As makeup brush production is very special, most customers would like to custom makeup brushes with their own design and style, it is risky for any makeup brush factory to store a certain type of material. If no customer needs makeup brushes with such material, the makeup brush factory has to afford such lost by themselves.

 

That is why our production capacity is 200kpcs per month but we need about 30 days to finish a 5000pcs order. We need to firstly order material from our supplier, wait for their production finished and material shipped to us. If any problem happened during our supplier’s production or our production, the lead time will be even longer.

 

Therefore, if customers would like to get brushes before Christmas Holiday, it is best to place order on October, so that we can send samples on early November, and start mass production after getting confirmation of samples. That will leave some time to the makeup brush manufacturer in case of any problem happen during production.
