Owners ask the shipping question for three different reasons. A designer pinned to a client reveal date. A homeowner whose general contractor wants every furnishing on site before the punch list. A buyer with a hard event on the calendar, a holiday gift, a baby room reveal, an anniversary. The three reasons sound similar in the inbox. They produce three different best answers.
Here is the short version Two Pages’ own shipping policy quotes: ready-made stock panels ship in 5-7 business days, fully custom made-to-order panels ship in 10-15 business days, and standard carrier transit inside the contiguous US adds another 3-7 business days on top. End-to-end, most orders land between 8 and 22 business days from checkout to doorstep. The rest of this guide is the math that connects your specific calendar to that range, and it starts at the Linen Curtains hub.
📅 3 reasons owners ask the lead time question
📐
Designer deadline
Client reveal in 4 weeks. Lead time is a project-management variable, not a personal preference.
🏠
Renovation move-in
Every furnishing dated back from a closing or move-in. The panel is the last layer added before the photo.
🎁
Gift or event
Picture the gift wrap photo on the calendar. The date is non-negotiable. Ready-made is usually the only path that survives.
Same question. Three different best answers below.
The collection both lead time paths apply to
Liz Linen Drape Pleated
from $59.99/panel · OEKO-TEX linen blend 350 gsm · 38 colorways · pinch pleat header · ships in 5-7 business days for ready-made stock widths or 10-15 business days for fully custom sizes. Final price depends on size, lining, and header config.
Use code JULY for 20% off · Free shipping over $300 in the contiguous US
The Central Question Has 4 Angles, Not 2
The surface answer is custom-vs-ready. The useful answer has four angles, and each one decides a different piece of your calendar. Angle #1 is the ready-made stock pool, the subset of SKUs that ship from a warehouse instead of an atelier. Angle #2 is custom made-to-order production, the heart of the Two Pages model. Angle #3 is hardware, rods, tracks, and finials, which run on their own clock. Angle #4 is the carrier transit math that turns a “ships in 10 days” SKU into an “arrives in 18 days” parcel.
| Product type | Production window | Carrier transit (US 48) | Door-to-door range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ready-made stock panel (Liz, Kyla, common widths) | 5-7 business days | 3-7 days | 8-14 business days |
| Custom made-to-order panel (custom width, drop, lining, header) | 10-15 business days | 3-7 days | 13-22 business days |
| COM (Customer’s Own Material) order | 15-25 business days from fabric receipt | 3-7 days | 18-32 business days plus fabric transit |
| Hardware (rods, tracks, finials) in-stock SKU | 3-5 business days | 3-7 days | 6-12 business days |
| Swatch booklet (38 colors) or single chips | 1-2 business days | 2-4 days | 3-6 business days |
| Bundled kit (Atlanta Room Divider with ceiling track) | 10-15 business days (paced by panel) | 3-7 days | 13-22 business days |
This table is the source of truth for everything that follows. Each row corresponds to one of the four angles the rest of the article expands.
Angle #1: Ready-Made Stock Widths (5-7 Business Days)
What qualifies as a ready-made stock SKU at Two Pages
Ready-made at Two Pages is a curated subset of the catalogue, not a separate brand or a clearance bin. The pool typically covers the top six to ten colorways per collection, the two most common widths (52 inches and 100 inches per panel), and three standard drop lengths (84L, 96L, and 108L). On the Liz Linen Drape Pleated, that means the snow whites, ivory whites, beige whites, sand beiges, and a handful of greys and taupes usually sit in stock, while the rarer dyed colorways roll into the made-to-order queue.
The cutoff that controls “ship today vs ship tomorrow” is approximately 11:00 AM Pacific time on business days. An order placed Monday at 10:30 AM PT for an in-stock Liz Sand Beige 1908-3 typically scans into a UPS Ground or FedEx Home Delivery carrier handoff Monday or Tuesday. An order placed Friday at 4:00 PM PT moves to the Monday morning pick queue. Weekends do not count toward the 5-7 day window.
Kyla Linen Drapery Review: Lightweight Ready-Made Alternative
Faux linen blend, lighter hand than Liz, often available in the ready-made stock pool. The right pick if 5-7 day shipping matters more than the 100% linen feel.
Cutoff times, same-day vs next-day handling
For a tighter look at what a same-week Liz order actually delivers, the Liz Linen Drape Pleated configurator tags each colorway with a “ready to ship” badge or a “made to order” badge depending on the current week’s inventory. The badge is the most reliable signal because it updates closer to real time than the policy page text. Stock availability fluctuates week to week based on what the previous seven days of orders pulled down.
🧺 Ready-made stock pool visualizer
📐 Pre-built widths
52″ and 100″ per panel. Custom widths roll to the made-to-order queue.
📏 Pre-built drops
84L, 96L, 108L. Custom drops (anything else) push to 10-15 day production.
🎨 Pre-built colorways
Top 6-10 sellers per collection. Rotates weekly with order volume.
If all three columns match your spec, you are in the 5-7 day window.
The honest caveat: the ready-made pool does not always include the matching lining you want. If your spec calls for blackout lining on a Liz Snow White 100×96 panel, that almost always pushes back into the made-to-order queue even if the unlined version of the same panel ships ready. Lining is a sewing operation, not a shelved combination.
Angle #2: Custom Made-to-Order Panels (10-15 Business Days Production)
What “made-to-order” actually means at the Two Pages atelier
Made-to-order at Two Pages is a five-step production pipeline that begins when the order confirmation hits the atelier queue, usually within 24 hours of checkout. The flow runs: order received and specced, fabric pulled from the dye lot bin, pattern cut at your requested width and drop, sewn with the chosen lining and header, pressed and QC-inspected, then boxed and handed to the carrier. The 10-15 business day window covers all five steps.
The atelier produces against an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification on most of the linen blend stock, including the Liz collection at 140 gsm. The certification is what owners are paying for inside the 10-15 day window: dye lot continuity across all panels in a single order, validated chemistry on the finished fabric, and a sewn header that holds its pleat memory rather than sagging at month three.
🪡 Custom production pipeline, 5 steps
1
Order received
Day 1, queued by 24h
2
Pattern cut
Day 2-4, single dye lot
3
Sewn + lined
Day 4-10, header set
4
Press + QC
Day 10-13, pleat memory
5
Box + handoff
Day 13-15, carrier scan
All 5 steps fall inside the 10-15 business day window. Transit clock starts at Step 5.
How lining choice nudges the timing
Lining choice is the single biggest production variable inside the 10-15 day window. Unlined panels sit at the fast end, often closer to 10 business days. Sheer lining and room-darkening lining sit in the middle, around 11-13 business days. Blackout lining and thermal lining sit at the slow end, 13-15 business days, because the heavier interlining requires a separate cutting pass and a slower sewing speed to keep the seam flat.
Liz Linen Drape Pleated Review: Spec-Checked
Drape behaviour, weight per panel, owner feedback over 18 months, and the lining picks that actually pay off on a custom Liz order before the 10-15 day clock starts.
The structural advantage of made-to-order is the absence of dead stock at the back of the warehouse. The atelier cuts what is ordered, in the size and lining ordered, and nothing else. That math is also the sustainability argument: zero overproduced panels rolling into clearance, zero polybag landfill cycle, zero dye lot drift between this order and a “matching” order placed six months later.

Why made-to-order beats overproduced ready-stock for landfill numbers, and how OEKO-TEX, European Flax, and GOTS certifications map to Two Pages SKUs.
Custom Path: 10-15 Business Days From Order to Ship
from $59.99/panel · made-to-order at the requested width and drop, your chosen lining (sheer, blackout, room-darkening, thermal), and pinch pleat or grommet header. Cut, sewn, pressed, QC inspected, then shipped via UPS Ground or FedEx Home Delivery (3-7 day transit). Total order-to-doorstep: 13-22 business days.
Angle #3: Hardware, Rods & Accessories
Why hardware ships on a different clock
Rods, tracks, finials, and rod-and-track finish samples ship from a separate Two Pages fulfillment lane on a separate timer. In-stock hardware SKUs typically box out in 3-5 business days and ride the same carrier transit (3-7 days) to the same address. The practical consequence: order a custom Liz panel and an Arno rod on the same Monday, and the rod often lands on your porch a week before the panel does. Two parcels, two tracking numbers, two delivery dates.
This split is by design. Hardware is a manufactured component with shelvable stock, panels are a textile good cut to spec. Putting them on a single shipping clock would slow the hardware to the panel rate without improving the customer experience, so Two Pages does the opposite: hardware moves at its own pace, and the customer absorbs the dual-parcel pattern. Most owners on Trustpilot report the rod arriving first as a minor convenience, not a complaint.
Partial shipments and the bundled kit case
The exception to the dual-parcel pattern is the bundled kit SKU. The Atlanta Room Divider ceiling track kit ships as a single bundled SKU where the panel and the track travel together once the panel finishes production. The trade-off is that the hardware in a bundled kit is paced by the slower component, which is always the panel. If install timing for the hardware matters more than bundle convenience, order the rod or track as a separate SKU.
🧮 Hardware vs panel lead time, side-by-side
🪟 Panel clock
5-7 days ready-made or 10-15 days custom. Plus 3-7 day transit. Panel ships when the atelier finishes QC.
🪛 Hardware clock
3-5 days for in-stock rods and tracks. Plus 3-7 day transit. Hardware ships when stock is pulled, independent of panel state.
Order both same day, expect two parcels at different times. Bundle only when panel and track must travel together.
Samples are the fastest SKU in the catalogue. The $19 rod and track finish sample piece ships in 1-2 business days from the hardware lane, and the Liz Linen color booklet ships in the same window. If your purchase decision is hinging on a single touch-and-feel question, the sample arrives in 3-6 business days door-to-door, which is faster than any panel path.
Angle #4: Total Order-to-Doorstep Math
UPS Ground vs FedEx Home Delivery zones
Two Pages routes most domestic panel orders through UPS Ground or FedEx Home Delivery, with the carrier selected by destination zone, package weight, and current network capacity. The UPS Ground transit time map is the public reference for ground service days from the West Coast atelier zone. The Midwest typically clears in 3-4 transit days, the Mountain West and Southeast in 4-5, and the Northeast in 5-7. Hawaii and Alaska price separately and use 2nd Day Air or longer ocean-relayed paths.
When UPS Ground capacity tightens (Q4 holiday weeks especially), Two Pages will reroute through FedEx Home Delivery service standards, which publishes a similar zone-by-zone day count. The carrier swap is invisible to the customer until the tracking email lands. Weekend delivery is available on FedEx Home Delivery in most US zip codes, which can shave a calendar day off the apparent transit window even if the business-day math reads the same.
Worked example: a Monday order, week by week
Picture a custom Liz Snow White panel with blackout lining ordered Monday morning at 9:00 AM PT. Day 1 (Monday) the order moves into the atelier queue by end of business. Days 2-4 (Tuesday-Thursday) the pattern is cut from the current Snow White dye lot. Days 4-11 (Thursday week 1 through Monday week 2) the panel is sewn and the blackout interlining attached. Days 11-13 (Monday-Wednesday week 3) press and QC. Day 13 or 14 (mid-week 3) carrier handoff.
From there, transit. If the delivery address is in the Midwest, 3-4 transit days lands the parcel Friday week 3 or Monday week 4. If the delivery address is in the Northeast, 5-7 transit days lands the parcel Tuesday-Thursday week 4. Total: 17-22 business days from checkout to doorstep on a custom Liz blackout-lined order. If it were my own client deadline, I would back up four full calendar weeks from the reveal date for a custom Liz, and five for a custom Liz with thermal lining shipping into the Northeast.

Rush Options, JULY Code, and Free Shipping Threshold
There is no formal rush production tier
Real talk on what “rush” means at a made-to-order house. Two Pages does not publish a paid rush production tier as of mid 2026. Paying more does not move a custom panel through the atelier faster, because the constraint is sewing capacity and lining cut time, not a queue priority that money can rearrange. The only true rush path is a ready-made stock SKU paired with paid expedited shipping (UPS 2nd Day Air or FedEx 2Day) at checkout, which compresses the door-to-door window to roughly 7-9 business days.
If the calendar is already tight, here is the version that survives: pick a ready-made colorway from the in-stock pool, pick a pre-built width and drop (52 or 100, 84/96/108L), accept the lining options the ready-made pool offers, and pay for 2nd Day Air. Anything else is a custom order with a 13-22 business day floor.
⚡ Rush path decision flow
✅ Ready-made path
Pre-built size and colorway, pay 2-day air. Door-to-door 7-9 days.
⛔ Custom rush
No paid rush production tier. Custom orders honor the 10-15 day window regardless of price.
📦 Sample-first
If the deadline is 4+ weeks out, swatch first (3-6 days), then custom panel. Saves a return cycle.
How the JULY 20% code stacks against the $300 free-ship gate
The JULY sitewide 20% off code applies to the cart subtotal at checkout. The $300 free shipping threshold is evaluated against the cart subtotal before JULY discounts the line. A cart of $375 in custom Liz panels qualifies for free shipping first, then drops to $300 after JULY, instead of $375 dropping to $300 and forfeiting free shipping at the same time. The two promotions stack cleanly.
JULY does not change production lead time. The code discounts the price, not the calendar. A $59.99 Liz panel ordered Monday under JULY ships on the same 5-7 day clock as a $59.99 Liz panel ordered Monday at full price. The same applies to expedited shipping fees, which sit on top of the discounted subtotal, paid in addition to whatever JULY took off.
💰 What stacks at checkout
20% off
Code JULY, sitewide. Applies to cart subtotal at checkout.
Free ship
$300+ subtotal pre-discount, contiguous US. Hawaii and Alaska excluded.
$8.99 cap
38-color Liz booklet ships in 3-6 days. Saves a return cycle.
JULY + free ship + swatch first is the highest-leverage stack for a non-rush calendar.
Order the 38-Color Liz Linen Booklet First
The booklet ships flat in 2-4 business days for $8.99 (up to 5 free swatch chips also available separately). Seeing the linen blend at scale in your room light before locking a 10-15 day custom order is the single highest-leverage shortcut against a return cycle.
The Order-Day Decision
If the calendar holds 22 business days end-to-end, go custom on your exact colorway, drop, and lining, and let the atelier and the carrier work the math the rest of the way. If the calendar is tighter than 14 business days, pivot to a ready-made colorway from the in-stock pool and pay for 2nd Day Air. In both paths, JULY and the $300 free-ship gate work the same way, the swatch booklet still pays for itself, and the lead time numbers stop being a mystery the moment the order confirmation lands.
Lead Time Solved. Configure the Linen Hub Pick.
Liz Linen ships in 5-7 business days on ready-made widths and 10-15 business days on full custom. Code JULY stacks a 20% discount, free shipping clears at $300, and a swatch booklet first usually saves a return cycle later. Final price depends on size, lining, and header.
FAQ: Two Pages Shipping Times and Lead Time Questions
How long does it take Two Pages to ship a custom curtain order?
A custom Two Pages order takes 10-15 business days in production from order confirmation to box-out, plus 3-7 business days of carrier transit within the contiguous US, for a total of roughly 13-22 business days door-to-door. Production covers pattern cut at your requested width and drop, sewing with the chosen lining, pressing, and QC inspection. UPS Ground typically clears the East and Midwest in 3-5 days, the West Coast in 5-7.
How long do ready-made Two Pages curtains take to arrive?
Ready-made stock panels ship in 5-7 business days from order to box-out, plus the same 3-7 day carrier transit. The ready-made pool covers a subset of the catalogue, the most popular widths (52″ and 100″), standard drops (84L, 96L, 108L), and the top 6-10 colorways per collection. Stock availability rotates week to week with order volume.
Does Two Pages offer expedited shipping or rush production?
Two Pages does not publish a formal rush production tier as of mid 2026. Expedited shipping is available at checkout on ready-made stock SKUs (UPS 2-Day Air or FedEx 2Day), which compresses only the transit window, not production. The only true rush path is ready-made plus paid 2-day shipping, which lands door-to-door in 7-9 business days. Custom orders cannot be production-rushed by paying more.
What is the Two Pages free shipping threshold?
Free standard shipping kicks in at $300 USD for orders to the contiguous US. Hawaii, Alaska, and US territories pay published carrier rates regardless of order size. The threshold is evaluated on the cart subtotal before any promo code (like JULY) discounts the line, so eligible carts keep free shipping even after the discount drops the post-promo total under $300.
Can I track my Two Pages order while it is in production?
Production status is visible through the Two Pages account dashboard with three internal states: Received, In Production, and QC + Ship Prep. Carrier tracking numbers post to email when the package leaves the atelier, at which point UPS, FedEx, or USPS tracking covers the 3-7 day transit window. Production stage transitions inside the 10-15 day window are not individually push-notified.
Do Two Pages curtain rods and hardware ship at the same time as the panels?
Rods, tracks, and finials usually ship from the hardware fulfillment lane on a separate clock, typically 3-5 business days for in-stock SKUs, regardless of whether the matching panel is custom or ready-made. The two parcels arrive separately on most orders. The exception is bundled kit SKUs, such as the Atlanta Room Divider ceiling track kit, where the panel and the track ship together once the panel finishes production.
What happens if a Two Pages order ships partial?
Two Pages permits partial shipments when one SKU in a multi-line order finishes ahead of another. A common case: a ready-made Kyla panel ordered alongside a custom Liz panel ships in two parcels, the Kyla in week 1 and the Liz at the end of week 2 or early week 3. Customers are not charged extra shipping on partial fulfillment when the original cart cleared the $300 free-ship threshold. Tracking numbers post per parcel.
Does the JULY 20% promo code stack with free shipping?
Yes. The JULY sitewide 20% off code applies at checkout to the cart subtotal, and the $300 free shipping threshold is evaluated against the subtotal before JULY discounts the line. A $375 cart qualifies for free shipping first, then drops to $300 after JULY, instead of $375 dropping to $300 and forfeiting free shipping. JULY does not change production lead time, only the price.
