Wholesale Fabric Shipping & Lead Times

At Yardblox, we make global wholesale shipping simple and transparent. Whether you're placing a small production order or managing a larger rollout, our team will support you every step of the way.


🌍 Shipping Method & Coverage

We currently offer flat-rate shipping to all countries we serve.
For detailed rates and zones, please refer to our Shipping Info Page.

For Smaller Wholesale Orders:

  • Typically shipped by air for faster delivery
  • Average transit time: 2–3 weeks from order confirmation
  • Express services available (see below)

For Larger Orders (500–1000 yards+):

  • We can explore more economical shipping options like: Truck (for regional fulfillment) Rail Sea freight
  • Truck (for regional fulfillment)
  • Rail
  • Sea freight

Our team will recommend the best method based on volume, fabric type, and urgency.


📦 Duties & Taxes

We offer two international shipping options for wholesale:

1. DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)

  • Duties and taxes are included in the shipping fee
  • We handle all paperwork and payments at customs
  • A small DDP surcharge is added to ensure there are no surprises
  • ✅ Recommended — especially if you're unsure about local customs rates

2. DAP (Delivered At Place)

  • You (the customer) will pay duties and taxes upon delivery
  • We provide all required customs paperwork and support
  • Customs may charge additional handling or clearance fees

💬 Customs decisions vary by country. We can’t guarantee duty estimates, but we’re happy to share what we’ve seen in the past.


🧾 Custom Clearance Support

Our team is always available to help you navigate customs and clearance especially if you choose the DAP route.

We’ll provide:

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list

However, final duties are determined by your local customs authority, and unfortunately, we can't give a guaranteed estimate. This is why we usually recommend the DDP option to avoid delays or surprise charges.


🚀 Express Shipping (Urgent Orders)

Need fabric fast?

We can arrange express shipping via FedEx or UPS.

  • This method is always DAP, meaning the buyer pays customs duties upon arrival
  • Typically arrives in 3–5 business days depending on destination
  • Ideal for urgent restocks or quick sample development

Our team will support you with documents and customs inquiries throughout.


📏 How Fabrics Are Shipped

We ship fabrics in two formats depending on your fabric type, volume, and needs:

1. On the Roll

  • Most common for full production orders
  • Best for fabrics that crease easily or have high structure

2. Folded in Carton Box

  • Used for small bulk orders or when rolling is not required
  • Some fabrics may be folded and then rolled (for easier packing)

📌 If you have a specific packing preference, please let our team know when placing your order.


📆 Production Lead Time

Typical shipping timeframe:

  • In-stock styles by air: 2–3 weeks after order confirmation
  • Reproduction or custom fabrics: Longer lead time, based on mill schedule and dyeing process

Our team will always inform you:

  • If the fabric is in-stock or in production
  • Estimated dispatch date
  • When to expect delivery

We aim to make the entire experience predictable, even when timelines vary.
