Rush orders — when time is short
How Rush orders runs at merch.am: steps, timelines and AMD prices when the choice is driven by a workable speed.
What this page is
Rush mode cuts production to 3–5 working days — right after the artwork is approved, drawing on materials already in stock. This page answers the practical questions: which steps exist, how long each takes and which documents accompany the process.
A purchase process in Armenia is fast only when every step is fixed in writing. In the case of Rush orders that means one point of contact, one AMD invoice and deadlines fixed in writing.
How the work runs
For a rush order the first hour decides: we take the brief, check the stock and offer two paths — printing on available material or filling in from stocked positions. The deadline is confirmed in writing before work starts.
The core steps of the Rush orders track:
- Rush orders: launching production
- Rush orders: taking the first enquiry
- Rush orders: sharpening the brief
What we watch for
The risk we watch during Rush orders is this: The risk is an unfulfillable promise: the price of haste grows with time while the possibility shrinks. That is why every step carries a written confirmation and its own owner.
The engine is a workable speed: if the offer does not read along that axis, the Rush orders programme loses its point. We build along exactly that axis, measured by rush-order handling and stock availability.
