Our lead time is the amount of time it takes us to produce a made-to-order item and prepare it for shipment.

Made-to-order means that once we receive your order, it gets included in a production run of that item and when it is completed, it ships to you directly.  This reduces waste (we don’t overproduce inventory or cut into materials that aren’t needed), and keeps our small, hardworking team organized.  We have a limited number of people on our team and a made-to-order workflow, so we are only able to produce a certain number of items each week in order to maintain our lead times.

Orders ship as ready and without notice. Items ready to be released may ship ahead of scheduled lead times. 

We are unable to rush any made-to-order items, due to the fact that there are no items to rush.  Each item is made-to-order only after its been purchased.

Please email us anytime at sales@rtolighting.com. We are here to answer your questions about existing and future orders, shipping and returns Monday through Friday, between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm ET.
