Delivery information is normally provided as a band of weeks. For example: 4-6 weeks.

We always try out best to meet the best case scenario date (in this case 4 weeks) and when truly needed it is doable, but you would need to speak with the Sales Representative that quoted you and express that you absolutely need the best case scenario date.
From time to time even the best case scenario date is not quick enough. If this is the case please contact the Sales Representative that quoted you, explain the situation and we will try and accommodate your needs. In order to meet your needs it is important you specify your actual need date and not just ASAP or the best delivery you can make.
ATM reserves the right to change a quoted delivery at the time of order depending on current production schedules.
