We are working full-time to fulfil orders

To meet the pre-Christmas rush, we are currently working at full-time rate! From December 1st, we will be working around the clock to fulfil orders if needs be.

Our current lead times

Many of our products are made just for you, using the measurements, colour preferences and configurations you ask for, and we do our very best to make sure your order is as perfect as possible. This means that unless you order just small accessories or parts that we have on-hand, there is a lead time before we can ship your goodies to you. For many of our products, they require time to naturally cure after we manufacture them due to our vapour smoothing process; this makes our parts shiny and strong, and suitable for everyday wear, and to give your parts the best characteristics before postage, they may need to cure for between 1 and 7 days, depending on the parts and our local weather.

21 calendar days

Average time taken for made-to-measure orders to ship. Last updated 2nd November 2025.

Our production was interrupted in late October and throughout most of November by an urgent personal issue which led to us being unable to safely use our workshop. This involved the emergency services and we were highly restricted in the work we could get done for several weeks. We’re back at work now, and are safe and sound, so thank you very much for your patience <3

If you need your order rushed by a certain date, please contact us.

Lead times on this page are updated at least monthly, using the average time taken in calendar days for an order to ship from our workshop after the order is placed. We don’t include orders that don’t include made-to-measure parts, like key-safes and spare parts, and we also don’t include fully bespoke orders from customers that want something that we don’t usually make. Orders that only include parts available off-the-shelf are usually shipped in a few days, and custom order lead times depend exclusively on your needs and time taken to design, test and manufacture your items.

Keep up-to-date on country-specific postal issues

Our ability to post your order may be affected by strike action, natural disasters or other incidents affecting your country. You can check the Royal Mail International Incident Bulletin for current information on specific issues.

We are now working full-time to process orders in time for Christmas delivery, and we expect to have a 10-day turnaround on most orders from payment to being posted for order placed after 23rd November 2025. If you are planning on getting a special someone some of our lovely products, please make sure you order in advance of the following dates to ensure we get your goodies to you before Christmas post deadlines. If at all possible, we will do our best to ensure your order is shipped in time, even if it’s ordered past these recommended dates. If you’d like to ask us for a fully custom piece, please contact us as soon as possible, as your lead time may be significantly longer.

How our packages arrive

Regardless of what method you use for postage, we always ship orders in nondescript black poly-mailer bags or cardboard boxes, which show no branding, logos or the name BeltBolt. Unless you specifically ask us to, we declare our items as handmade clothing accessories or imitation jewellery, depending on what’s in the box. Our return address references “BB Technology”, not BeltBolt, so nosy roommates shouldn’t suspect a thing.

Inside your packaging, you’ll find your order, a packing sheet and any relevant documentation.
