Lead Time FAQ

What are ARSTAR’s standard lead times?

Standard products in standard catalog colors ship in 2–4 weeks from order confirmation. Custom configurations and specialty colors ship in 4–8 weeks. Both windows are FOB Laredo, TX — transit time to your destination is additional.

How long does a custom color take to develop?

New gel coat color development typically adds 2–3 weeks to a project, which is included in the 4–8 week custom lead time. Once locked, the formula is exclusive to your account and reorders ship on standard timelines.

Can ARSTAR rush an order for an urgent hotel renovation?

Yes, in some cases. Rush capacity depends on current production load and the specific product. The fastest path is to specify standard products in standard colors, which always ship in the 2–4 week window. Contact sales early in the spec phase so we can confirm capacity for your project window.

What is the minimum order quantity?

ARSTAR ships full truckload (FTL) only on B2B wholesale orders. A single truck can mix product lines (vanity tops, shower walls, shower pans, lazy susans). For smaller quantities, ARSTAR products are available through authorized retail partners (Ace Hardware, HD Supply, Home Outlet, Costco, Lowe’s, Home Depot).

Does ARSTAR offer phased delivery for multi-phase projects?

Yes. For multi-floor or multi-tower hospitality and multifamily projects, ARSTAR stages production and ships in scheduled batches that align with the construction sequence. This eliminates the need for on-site warehousing and keeps the construction critical path moving.
