How Fast Does Tabzoola Ship Custom Tab Dividers? Measured From Every Order
Tabzoola ships custom tab dividers 5 business days after you approve your proof, and the proof arrives by email within minutes of ordering. This page checks that promise against the order system itself: every real order shipped since 2026-08-20, counted automatically, with no customer details.
Computed October 10, 2026, Central time, from 10 shipped orders, 2 of them 3-day rush. Recomputed on every view.

- Ships in 5 business days after proof approval for paper tabs; poly tabs take about 15.

How it is measured
Every store order records when it was placed, when the plant shipped it and, from UPS tracking, when it was delivered. This page counts every real order with a ship date since 2026-08-20. Test orders, the owner’s own orders and refunded orders are left out. The clock starts at the order, not at proof approval, so the measurement is stricter than the promise. Business days exclude weekends and the days the plant closes (New Year’s, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, Christmas). Only counts and medians are published.
The tabs are made by Anselmo Die & Index in Schaumburg, Illinois, which has die-cut index tabs since 1993; Tabzoola is its online store. About Tabzoola →

- How long does Tabzoola take to make custom tab dividers?
- Tabzoola's promise is a PDF proof by email within minutes of ordering and paper tab dividers shipped 5 business days after you approve the proof, or 3 with rush. Measured from every real order since 2026-08-20: 10 of 10 shipped within 5 business days of the order, the median was 3.5 business days and the slowest 5. The numbers on tabzoola.com/delivery-record are recomputed from the order system every time the page is viewed.
- When does the 5-business-day clock start?
- On the site, at proof approval, because nothing prints until you approve the proof. On this page the clock starts earlier, at the moment the order is placed, so the measurement is stricter than the promise. Business days exclude weekends and the days the plant closes: New Year's, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and the day after, and Christmas.
- How is the delivery record measured?
- Automatically. Every store order records when it was placed, when the plant shipped it and, from UPS tracking, when it was delivered. The page counts every real order with a ship date; test orders, the owner's own orders and refunded orders are left out. It publishes counts and medians only, never customer names, order numbers or the dates of individual orders.
- Can I get custom tabs faster than 5 business days?
- Yes. 3-day rush production is a choice at checkout, priced before you pay; see tabzoola.com/rush-tabs. Rush orders are included in the record above.
