What is the production lead time for this geranium oil?
Lead time depends on whether you are drawing from stock or commissioning a fresh batch. Stock items are ready within days; fresh distillations follow the harvest and QC calendar. The typical working windows are below.
Lead Time Guide
| Scenario | Lead time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Stock batch (standard spec) | 3-7 days | Released from bulk tanks, QC and packing included |
| Fresh distillation (harvest season) | 15-30 days | Depends on the harvest window and your volume |
| Off-season fresh distillation | 30-60 days | Requires stored green material or next-crop planning |
| Contract / dedicated lot | 45-60 days | Includes capacity reservation and profile blending |
| Sample order | 2-5 days | Small pack by courier |
- Time counted from confirmed PO and deposit; QC release (CoA) adds 2-3 working days to any scenario
- For large volumes, order at least 30 days before your production start — QC and dangerous-goods booking are the critical path
- If you need a specific crop year or single-origin lot, tell us in the PO so we can allocate the right stock
- Expedited options exist for urgent stock orders — confirm availability with your sales contact first
