| Sample revision (if needed) | +5–7 working days | Only if corrections required |
| Bulk fabric sourcing | Overlaps with sampling | Confirmed after sample approval |

How Should Brands Plan Around Ready One’s Lead Times?
Brands launching a seasonal collection should confirm their order at least 10–12 weeks before the required on-shelf date. Specifically, this allows for sample approval, bulk production, and DDP transit with a buffer. Moreover, brands with fixed retail launch dates should discuss their timeline at the brief stage. Consequently, Ready One can confirm capacity availability before the order is placed. In addition, see Ready One’s full bulk order process for a stage-by-stage breakdown.
Reorder Lead Times
Reorders of a previously approved style are faster. Furthermore, the pre-production sample stage is skipped if no changes are made to the spec. As a result, reorder lead times are typically 20–30 working days from order confirmation.
What Affects Lead Time at Ready One?
Three factors most commonly extend lead times beyond the standard window. In particular, late sample approval is the single largest cause of delay. Additionally, fabric sourcing for non-stock or custom materials adds 5–7 working days. Finally, high-complexity orders with multiple branding techniques require more finishing time.
How Does Ready One’s Lead Time Compare?
| Factor | Ready One | Typical Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Sample lead time | 7–10 working days | Often 14–21 days |
| Bulk production | 30–45 working days | 45–90 days common |
| DDP included | Yes — all-inclusive price | Usually FOB only |
| Reorder lead time | 20–30 working days | Same as new order |
