At Q&D, we pride ourselves on our quality and delivery. We want to make things for our customers as efficiently as possible while still ensuring that we deliver quality products. With this in mind, it is difficult to give a general answer as to lead time due to the many factors that must be taken into account. Complexity of the build, availability of component parts, time in transit, and shop capacity at the time of an order are just some of what goes into determining lead time. When preparing a response to an RFQ, we will provide a targeted lead time window that should help to address lead time concerns, however, if we can ever assist in helping meet a more abbreviated delivery schedule, by all means we invite you to please just ask.

To get started, ideally what we need is a drawing. Whether it is a PDF drawing, a sketch on a napkin, or something in between…with this, we should be able to begin the quote process. While questions may arise, we typically can work through those pretty quickly via email or phone conversation. We strive to reply to RFQs to confirm their receipt within one business day and from the time we have all of the pertinent information with which to quote, we can generally present a quote back within 1-2 business days (depending, of course, on the complexity and scale of a project).

Yes, whether we are sourcing any or all of the component parts or whether they are supplied externally from our customer or drop shipped here, we can work to build cable & harness assemblies in either case.
