Manufacturing Lead Time

Joel Fitzgerald Surfboards

 

Joel Fitzgerald Surfboards handmade to order.  

Manufacturing Lead Time: 60 - 90 Days

  

Once you place your surfboard order online, your order is carefully reviewed and placed into production. Your surfboard will then be HANDMADE as it goes through each manufacturing stage, for example, hand-shape within the first month. Fin, artwork, glassing during the second month. Sanding and finally quality control during the third month, before being delivered to your door. 

PLEASE ALLOW FOR DELAYS. 60 - 90 days is a guide and manufacturing lead times can vary due to staff availability, length, colour, art and tints. For example our surfboard blanks are also handmade which means orders over 6'8, or orders for surfboard blanks that require Triple Stringers can ad 2 - 6 WEEKS to the manufacturing lead time.

SKILLED CRAFTSMEN AND SUPPLY SHORTAGES. In some cases, lead times can get stretched due to unforeseen circumstances. If your board is overdue, the team's number one focus is to deliver amazing boards, and with experience, its best not to rush, the team always deliver the best surfboard possible in line with our manufacturing process.

Quality Control

When your surfboard passes through final sand and quality control your order is then ready to be shipped.

 

Priority Manufacturing Lead Time: 30 - 35 Days

We now offer Priority Manufacturing on selected surfboard. Once your order has been placed we allocate the resources needed to deliver with-in a shorter timeframe.

PLEASE NOTE: Priority Manufacturing is not a guarantee but we do bring the team together to meet the priority lead time as best as possible. We also cannot guarantee last minute changes to your order and, if changes are made to your order, this can potentially delay lead time. 

 

Due For Completion Dates.

Due for completion dates are for boards already shaped and currently in production, lead times differ accordingly.

 

Re-Purposed Packaging

At Joel Fitzgerald Surfboards we are part of an industry wide initiative using re-purposed surfboard boxes. This is an initiative to reduce unnecessary cardboard manufacturing and waist, which means your surfboard box may have delivered more than one surfboard and you may see different branding on your surfboard box from both local and international manufacturers.

Don't be alarmed your handcrafted Australian Made 🇦🇺 Joel Fitzgerald Surfboard is safely packaged inside.

 

Shipping

Your surfboard will either be hand delivered by our surfboard specific courier, or packed in line with our packaging policy to travel interstate. 

Once your surfboard is packed your address is printed on the packaging and collected from us personally. We will email shipping details as well as the tracking and contact numbers to the carrier so you know where your surfboard is and when it will arrive at your preferred address. 

Once a surfboard has been shipped it is best to contact the courier for the most up to date and accurate delivery times. 

 

Safe shipping lead time.

Depending on where you live shipping lead time may vary. 1 - 3 days for the East Coast of Australia, 3 - 5 days for Southern and Western States of Australia, 5 - 7 days for International Shipping.
