DIY Hurricane Panel Shipment Expectations

When it comes to hurricane shutters, we understand that our customers are working on a tight timeline. That’s why we make every effort to streamline the process and deliver your hurricane kit to your home as quickly as possible. Since each kit is custom-made for a specific property, it requires individualized manufacturing. In the past, custom orders used to take months to complete, but with our latest manufacturing process, we’ve significantly reduced lead times.

In fact, we’ve streamlined the process so much that orders are often shipped in two parts: the headers and footers, along with the necessary hardware, in the first shipment, and the panels in the second. This allows you to begin the installation process as soon as the initial shipment arrives. Then, once the panels are received, you’ll be able to complete the installation!

Manufacturing Time
We strive to maintain consistent manufacturing times throughout the year; however, during peak periods, lead times may increase, so please plan accordingly. Orders are inspected for quality and shipped from Odessa, FL to their final destination. Shipping times vary depending on the carrier. You will receive a tracking number shortly after your shipment departs.

Safety First Shipping Policy
In the event of an approaching hurricane, orders in the projected path of the storm will be prioritized, whenever possible. This rare order adjustment helps assist those facing more urgent timelines. For example, if a hurricane is heading up the east coast towards the Carolinas, a customer in Texas may experience a delay of a day or two, so that customers in the Carolinas can have their orders processed more quickly. The Safety-First Shipping Policy is designed to create a wider window of opportunity but does not imply expedited shipping or a guaranteed delivery date. DIY Hurricane Supply recommends ordering supplies proactively, before predicted activity, and preferably as early as possible in the season, to ensure maximum protection and use.

The Safety First Shipping Policy is implemented based on projections from NOAA’s National Hurricane Center
