1. Overview
J3DB provides custom 3D printing and design services.
All items are made-to-order and produced after payment is received.
Shipping timelines depend on the scope of the project, design requirements, and production time.
2. Production Timeline
Shipping time consists of two parts:
-
Production Time – Design, prototyping (if required), printing, and post-processing.
-
Delivery Time – Courier transit time after dispatch.
Production does not begin until:
-
Payment (or required deposit) has been received, and
-
Full delivery details have been provided.
Estimated lead times are discussed during quoting and may vary depending on complexity and workload.
3. Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are included in your quote and invoice based on:
-
Postcode area provided during enquiry
