Made-to-Order vs In-Stock: How to Purchase at SCODY (Holiday Edition)

With Christmas cut-offs looming, endless custom options, and plenty of different purchasing pathways to choose from, it’s time for you to read the ultimate guide to holiday shopping with SCODY!

‘Tis the season for pushing your training and getting your Christmas shopping done early. Don’t leave it to the last minute and start gifting ridiculous things your loved ones don’t need. It’s time to take control and order the gear you need for summer training and the 2026 race season, whilst spoiling your friends and family!

Whether you’re shopping for just you or buying for the sportsperson in your life, or even organising race uniforms for a club, we’ve got two distinct ways to shop so you can get exactly what you need:

●     Made to Order (MTO): This is where your garment is made specifically for you.

●     In-Stock: These pieces are ready to ship straight to you from our factory  in Brisbane.

Both MTO and stock deliver the same high-quality you’re used to when shopping with SCODY, but they do serve different needs. Our handy guide helps you break down the difference so you can shop with confidence this Christmas and have your items arrive before the big day!

Holiday Deadlines You Need to Know

So these are the big dates for your calendar to determine whether your order will be with you before Christmas or not.

Made-to-Order Cut-Off for Christmas Delivery

If you’re ordering between 4th and 17th November, then you’ll be guaranteed pre-Christmas dispatch. This is perfect if you’re shopping for Christmas presents or events around this time.

In-Stock Christmas Delivery Window

Subject to courier timelines, if you order before 18th December, your kit should reach you before Christmas. However, as we cannot control courier timelines, it’s always better to order sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

What Does Made to Order Mean at SCODY?

Made to order is exactly how it sounds. When you order a made to order garment from us here at SCODY, your garment doesn’t exist until you order it. Every single piece is:

●     Hand-cut, sewn, and printed in Brisbane

●     Produced with world-class fabrics selected carefully for the Aussie climate

●     Patterned using our athlete-tested designs

●     Made using waste-reducing, sustainable production models

Our made to order products are perfect for the athletes who want high-performance technical fabrics without the environmental impact. Shop our Men’s Cycling, Women’s Cycling, and Design Your Own Kit collections now before the deadlines hit! 

The benefits of made to order are:

·         No pre-consumer waste

·         Full size range

·         More choice of garments, designs and colours

·         The ability for you to personalise your garment
