THE NATURE OF MADE-TO-MEASURE (M2M) ORDERS
Most of our products are made-to-measure by the inch to your specifications with rad, sweat, and tears from your favorite shelf geeks, except for a small selection of our builder's grade brackets. This means that in most cases your order is sized and colored just for you and we cannot take it back and sell it to someone else in the same way you can return a TV to Costco and they can sell it to the next guy. The nature of this type of transaction is that you as the buyer have a bit more responsibility to make sure you are ordering exactly what you want. Please plan your project carefully. Although changes and mistakes happen–and we totally understand that they do–It is difficult for everyone when we’ve started an order and there are changes or cancellations. Time and money get wasted. Feelings get hurt. Sandwiches go stale and uneaten. Milk spills. All these things that can be avoided most of the time.
To prevent discomfort like this, we have set up our entire business to help you get exactly what you want. This includes a beautiful and information-rich website, great how-to's and YouTube content, and especially an insanely talented customer experience team that is ready and available to help you. Please use these resources anytime. We honestly love to help you get all of your questions answered so your order goes smoothly from start to finish. Seriously. We geek out on easy transactions and happy customers. So use us.

LEAD TIMES
Lead times are defined as the time it takes to produce your order from receiving it to when it leaves our shop. Shipping time is the time it takes to get from our shop to your door. They are two different things. The combination of the two is how long your order takes from placing it to arriving at your door. We are in control of only our lead time. Our carrier partners are in control of their shipping time.
Lead times begin once the order has been finalized and paid for. If there are any edits or adjustments made to the order, the lead time resets and starts again once the adjusted order is finalized and paid for.
We want you to be stoked through our entire process and fast lead times are part of it. We do our best to be as accurate in our lead times as possible. Due to uncertain market conditions, or an increase in daily order volume (includes sales events), we maintain the right to adjust lead times. We will notify you when your lead time change. and post changes on our website banners.
A couple of other things to know about lead times:
- Selecting a faster shipping speed DOES NOT change the lead time. It just makes the shipping time shorter.
- Lead times are different for each product we sell. Please visit the product page to see any product’s lead time and note any website communication (via banners) that may effect these lead times. Your order may contain several products with different lead times. We will ship all your items together when the product with the longest lead time is completed.
- We will expedite production, in other words, dramatically shorten any given lead time for a rush fee of +40% on order total. Please contact us for any expedited orders.
