General Shipping and Turnaround Rules

Dandy calculates all turnaround times using business days. Turnaround times include the time required for shipping.

  • Cut-off Time: Dandy considers cases submitted after 11:00 AM EST as received on the following business day.
  • Potential Delays: Holidays, supply chain disruptions, lab capacity, order holds, or extreme weather may extend turnaround times.
  • Adding a Live Design Review or any design preview to eligible items will increase turnaround time.
