Did you think roll forming had to take weeks and months to design, set up, and produce a quality product? We thought so, too. That is, until we realized we could standardize the roll forming process of a small selection of metal mouldings.

Currently, we offer eleven unique molding designs as [quick ship products](https://www.dahlstromrollform.com/Shop/Default.aspx). If none of them appeal to you, don’t worry. You can still experience efficient and convenient online ordering with custom mouldings - they’ll just take a little longer to ship, and won’t have the small quantity volume discount.

## Benefits of Quick Ship Metal Mouldings

### 1. Small Quantities

Only need a few meters of mouldings? No problem. Our eStore mouldings are volume-discounted specifically for small orders. We can meet the needs of projects both big and small. No upcharges, no worries.

### 2. Fast Shipping

These specific mouldings will be shipped in four days or less. Guaranteed. That’ll cut down your lead times by weeks - maybe even *months*. That kind of lead time reduction can be a game changer for any company.

### 3. Shorter Lead Times

Shortened lead times bring a host of additional benefits. These include:

- Lower overall costs
- Quicker response to demand and scheduling of installation labor.
- Elimination of unnecessary wastes (large batches, excess inventory, etc.)
- Lower chances of damaged products
- Increased customer satisfaction

### 4. Classic Designs

All designs offered in our quick ship section were designed between 1922-1937. Dahlstrom RF has been producing architectural formed metal since 1905. These designs are tried and true, and their aesthetic is attractive across generations.

### 5. Convenience

The parts you need are ready to ship. If you know exactly what you need, what specs, what materials, etc., purchasing ready-to-ship parts online cuts out a lot of unnecessary dancing around. You can take these designs to your engineer or your project manager and get the ball rolling immediately.

 

**Like any shipment of mouldings, we advise the following for your safety, and for the proper care and treatment of the product:**

- **Moldings should be installed by a professional metalworker**
- **Somebody should be there to sign for the delivery. Moldings will not be left unattended**
- **The mouldings are quite heavy, and may require a few people to carry**

Don’t see what you want in the quick ship section? Don't worry - [you can still order custom mouldings online](https://www.dahlstromrollform.com/Shop/Metal-Mouldings/Special-Orders.aspx).
