We understand that sometimes things are urgent.
Within the ordering process, you may see an express option on particular products if we have capacity to offer it. This is not always available every single week of the year. Sometimes there's an influx of unpredicted work, and we simply can't slot an urgent project into the schedule.
If you have an urgent project and you don't see the option in the booking process, please contact us most of the time we can make something work.
Please, always endeavour to book ahead so we can deliver productions on schedule, without express fees and with plenty of time for creativity!
Simple answer:
Video projects = 15-25 business days (if Pre Ordered)
Complex answer:
Our delivery times range depending on a few factors, including:
In Nexus, we display 6 months worth of data on how busy our upcoming schedule is, which gives a general indication of how busy Nobacklog is.
It's best to book with us as soon as you have a retainer from your client, even if the wedding isn't for 12+ months. There's no deposit required to order.
When we're scheduling, there's usually 1-2 editors assigned to your studio, and they'll work on projects in order of "oldest event = first edited". This is because we generally assign the same editor to your studio, for consistency of style, and they're unable to start on the second project until the first is complete. Larger studios have more than one editor.
When you place an order, the Estimated Delivery Date will not display in Nexus until we have completed Scheduling the order. The Estimated Delivery Date is subject to change:
If promising a delivery to your customer, always allow additional time on top of the Estimated Delivery Date.
