Scanner Programming and Set-up & Optimize Times
Please allow for 5-10 business days on average for this service. Often we are able to move the programming up to 2 to 3 business days, but the amount of time needed depends on the volume of programming orders that come in at any given time. Around holidays, particularly Christmas, lead times can sometimes extend slightly further.
