How to Plan and Track the Sampling-to-Shipping Timeline for Crochet Hair Extensions

A reliable timeline for crochet hair extensions should account for each milestone separately: confirming specifications, preparing and reviewing samples, producing the order, completing inspection, and shipping. MEIRHAIR lists a 7-day lead time for stock products and 15–30 days for customized orders. Shipping time is not specified, so confirm the carrier and destination-specific transit estimate before dispatch.

Set Up Your Timeline

Begin by documenting the requirements for the intended order: style, texture, length, color, quantity, and any packaging or private-label needs. The listed length range is 14–30 inches, with Deep Wave, Water Wave, Loose Wave, Curly, and other customized textures available. The stated minimum order quantity is 1 piece; minimums for custom orders can be discussed.

Once the specifications are clear, ask the sales team to confirm stock availability or provide a schedule for the custom order. Keep sample preparation and delivery as separate timeline entries. The available information does not give a distinct sample-production duration, so request an estimate rather than assuming it falls within the order lead time.

Track Each Milestone

Sample preparation and approval

Request estimated dates for sample preparation and delivery, then review the sample against the agreed texture, length, color, and weight. MEIRHAIR lists support for color matching, texture customization, private labeling, and packaging. Note whether the sample is approved or revisions are needed before authorizing production.

Production and inspection

Use the listed 7-day estimate for stock products or 15–30 days for customized orders as a planning reference. Custom timing depends on style, quantity, and requirements; confirm when the estimate starts and request an order-specific schedule. Before dispatch, verify that inspection has covered hair quality, texture, length, color, and weight. The company also lists checks for raw hair, color, length and weight, texture, weft and lace, and finished products.

Shipping and delivery

Choose a shipping method based on the shipment size and destination. International express services such as DHL, FedEx, and UPS are available for samples and small orders. Air freight is offered for medium and bulk orders, while sea freight is available for large-volume shipments. Door-to-door service may be arranged for selected destinations. Since no fixed transit duration is provided, confirm the dispatch date, estimated transit time, and tracking details with the supplier.

Lead Times and Tracking Checklist

Example Use Case

A company-reported supply project involved 500 pieces of Boho braiding hair for a wholesaler in the United Kingdom. The products were intended for Boho braids, Goddess braids, and salon braiding services. The customer review noted a natural appearance and a choice of textures and lengths. This example illustrates a wholesale application; it should not be treated as a benchmark for production or delivery time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the stated lead time for stock hair?

The listed estimate is 7 days. Because it is not clear whether that includes shipping, ask for separate dispatch and transit estimates.

How much time should I plan for a custom order?

The listed range is 15–30 days, depending on style, quantity, and customization requirements. Request a schedule based on the confirmed order details.

Which dates should I record to track the full process?

Track sample preparation, sample delivery, review and approval, production, inspection, dispatch, and estimated transit. Confirm the shipping method and destination-specific timing, since no guaranteed shipping duration is provided.

Plan with Separate Milestones

Keep sampling, approval, production, inspection, dispatch, and transit as distinct entries in your schedule. Treat the 7-day stock estimate and 15–30-day custom estimate as product lead times, and confirm shipping timing before promising a delivery date.
