Lead Times and Delivery Explained

Lead Times and Delivery Explained

At The Glass Shop Online we pride ourselves on some of the fastest standard lead times in the industry — while never compromising on the premium quality of our cut-to-size glass.

The short answer: Standard lead times range from approx 5 working days (laminate, fire-rated) to 10 working days (toughened laminate). Most quotes come back within 1–2 hours.

Our Standard Lead Times

Toughened Laminate Approx 10 working days
Fire-Rated Glass Approx 5 working days

These are standard lead times from the date your order is confirmed and payment is received. Quicker lead times can often be achieved subject to your specific requirements — just ask us.

Why quote speed matters

We know time is everything when you’re planning a project. That’s why we aim to price every enquiry back to you within 1–2 hours for most requests (during normal working hours).

How delivery works

  • All glass is made to order and carefully packed to arrive in perfect condition.
  • We deliver across the UK using our dedicated glass delivery vehicles.
  • Every order is transported loose-loaded on specialist carriers for maximum protection.
  • Offloading is the responsibility of the recipient — please ensure you have adequate labour and/or machinery on site on the day of delivery. Glass will not be left unattended.
