At Kobayashi Bar, we take pride not only in our products, but also in how we deliver them to you. Below you’ll find details on our current lead times, how we ship, and what you can expect when your order is on its way.
Current Lead Time
Due to strong demand, our current production lead time is 6–8 weeks. Beginning in September, we’ll be increasing stock levels so that most orders will ship within 1 week, unless a product is temporarily out of stock.
For large or multiple-unit purchases, we recommend confirming lead times with our team so we can coordinate and facilitate fulfillment smoothly.
How We Ship
- Secure Packing
Every order is carefully banded, wrapped, and enclosed in either plywood or a heavy-duty double‑walled box. Depending on size and configuration, shipments may also be crated to provide maximum protection during transit. - Dedicated Freight Service (LTL)
We only use dedicated Less‑Than‑Truckload (LTL) freight. That means no stacking, no mixing with unrelated cargo—your product travels securely and independently. - Liftgate Service Included
All deliveries include liftgate service, making offloading easier and safer at your site. - Reserve & Hold Option
Not ready to receive your order right away? We offer a reserve & hold option, allowing us to store your product until your site is ready. We ask for 2 weeks’ notice for scheduling. - Scheduled Delivery
Deliveries are appointment-based, coordinated with our trusted shipping partner to give you more flexibility and convenience.
Quality & Assurance
- Shipment Tracking
Once your order is securely loaded and en route, we’ll share tracking information within 1 business day. - Visual Confirmation
Before leaving our facility, we provide photos of your fully packed stations so you know exactly how your order is being shipped. - Hands-On Quality Control
Every shipment is personally overseen by a member of our core team, ensuring quality and consistency from our shop to your site.
