Lead Time & Delivery

At HOTOP Silicone Hose, we understand that timely delivery is a critical factor for your production planning and supply chain stability. To support our global OEM and distribution partners, we provide clear delivery schedules and flexible options based on order size, product complexity, and urgency.

Regular Lead Time

For most custom silicone hose orders, our standard lead times are:

• Standard Orders: 4–6 weeks after order confirmation

• Urgent Orders: 2–4 weeks (subject to capacity & material availability)

The final schedule depends on order quantity, product specifications, and material availability. We will always confirm the accurate delivery timeline when we issue your order confirmation.

Suggested Shipment Options

To help you meet tight deadlines or manage inventory more effectively, we offer:

• Staggered Batch Shipping: For large orders, we recommend splitting the delivery into multiple batches so you can receive goods earlier and start production sooner.

• Expedited Production Plans: For urgent requirements, please let us know in advance so we can prioritize planning and allocation.

These options help balance lead time with your supply requirements.

Delivery Time

Once your goods are ready and shipped, delivery time will depend on your chosen shipping method and destination.

Typical delivery times might include:

• Express (Air / Courier): ~3–7 days

• Air Freight: ~7–14 days

• Sea Freight: ~25–45 days (depending on route)

Please note: Delivery time refers to the period from when the goods are shipped until they reach the final destination agreed in your Incoterms (e.g., CIF, DDP). Shipping times vary by port, customs clearance, and logistics provider.
