Ready-to-ship laptops: check stock and dispatch

When you need units now rather than a custom build, order a standard configuration from stock and skip the production queue entirely.

Selected available standard configurations may be quoted from one unit for evaluation. S18D is bulk-only with no evaluation samples. Selected available China-stock configurations typically dispatch in 2-3 business days after stock, payment and order details are confirmed. Overseas stock, coverage and transit depend on the exact model and address. Sample preparation and production are quoted separately; dispatch is not an arrival guarantee.

Check stock availability

Three dispatch routes, three different clocks

Confirm the exact stock location, configuration, quantity and delivery address. Standard stock, overseas fulfilment and custom production have different preparation and transit requirements.

2-3 days

From China stock

Standard configurations held in Shenzhen and dispatched once the order is confirmed. No artwork approval step is needed.

Applies to in-stock configurations
By address

From local stock

Ask which exact configuration is available from an overseas warehouse and whether the carrier serves your address. Confirm dispatch and transit separately.

Built to order

Where you need your own branding or a different configuration, production starts once the specification is frozen.

Sample availability and preparation confirmed first

If your requirement is small and unglamorous - a handful of units to test, or stock to cover a listing that is already selling - the first two routes are the ones to ask about. How small an order can go is set out on the low MOQ page.

What "in stock" actually means here

An in-stock configuration is a standard build held ready to ship. That is the whole reason it can leave quickly, and also what limits it. See how stock compares with a custom programme.

  • Platform, memory, storage and keyboard are fixed by what is held, rather than chosen to your specification.
  • Packaging and device labelling are standard. There is no artwork round to approve before dispatch.
  • Documentation for the model travels with the units and does not depend on order size.
  • Nothing is built for you. If you need a different combination, that is a configured order with its own lead time.

Buyers who want the units to carry their own brand should start from the private label programme instead, or buy stock first to test the product and brand the second order.

Four model references shown for comparison. Listing a model does not establish live stock. S18D is bulk-only with no evaluation samples; check the exact available configuration before ordering.

In stock or built to order?

The two routes suit different stages of the same business, so the useful question is which one you need this month.

How an in-stock order runs

Tell us the model, quantity and destination

Which platform you want, how many units, and the country they are going to.

We confirm what is available

Stock levels move, so availability is checked at the time of your enquiry rather than from a list.

Quote and documentation position

You approve the price and the document set that applies to your destination market.

Dispatch with tracking

Selected available China-stock configurations typically dispatch in 2-3 business days after stock, payment and order details are confirmed. Overseas stock, coverage and transit depend on the exact model and address. Sample preparation and production are quoted separately; dispatch is not an arrival guarantee.

The document set that applies depends on where the units are going, not on how many you buy. That is set out on the compliance by market page.

Before you order

These points save time on both sides.

  • Stock moves. Availability is confirmed when you ask, not from a static published list.
  • We do not publish a price list. Pricing is quoted per configuration and volume, because two orders of the same size can differ in platform, memory, storage and documentation.
  • We do not offer custom enclosures or tooling. We work with platforms that already exist and are already documented.
  • Documentation depends on the model, not the order size. Confirm the product and battery transport documents for the exact model, board, battery and destination before order approval. Availability and applicability must be checked for the ordered build; another model’s documents do not automatically apply.

Resellers buying repeatably rather than urgently should look at wholesale terms, which cover minimum quantity, branding and documentation for ongoing stock.

Stock and dispatch questions

  • What does ready to ship mean?

    It means an exact standard configuration is available for dispatch without a production run, subject to a live stock and order check. A product page alone does not reserve stock or guarantee availability. S18D is bulk-only with no evaluation samples.

  • How fast can you dispatch an order?

    Selected available China-stock configurations typically dispatch in 2-3 business days after stock, payment and order details are confirmed. Overseas stock, coverage and transit depend on the exact model and address. Sample preparation and production are quoted separately; dispatch is not an arrival guarantee.

  • Is there a minimum order for stock units?

    Selected available standard configurations may be quoted from one unit for evaluation. Confirm the exact model, configuration, price and stock location first. S18D is bulk-only with no evaluation samples.

  • Can I put my own brand on in-stock units?

    Logo, keyboard, packaging, software and boot-artwork requests require review of the selected model, quantity, materials and process. Each may have separate minimums, setup costs, approval steps and preparation time. Custom enclosure and mainboard tooling are not offered.

  • How do I find out what is currently in stock?

    Tell us the model, the configuration and the destination market. We confirm what is available at that moment, because stock levels move.

  • Can I change the memory or storage on a stock unit?

    Stock ships as held. If you need a different memory or storage combination, that is a configured order and carries its own lead time.

  • What documentation comes with stock units?

    Confirm the product and battery transport documents for the exact model, board, battery and destination before order approval. Availability and applicability must be checked for the ordered build; another model’s documents do not automatically apply.

  • Which markets do you ship to?

    Our named markets are the UK, Germany, the US, Italy and Spain, alongside 20+ markets served on the same platforms.

Model references for an availability check

Compare nine model references below. A listed model does not establish live stock or sample availability. S18D is bulk-only with no evaluation samples. Ask for the exact configuration and stock location; product pages give reference specifications.

Tell us the model, the quantity and the destination

Send the platform you want, how many units you need and the country they are going to. We will come back with availability, price and the documentation position for that market.
