Now is the season for holiday shopping! We strongly recommend that you shop and ship early. While the US Post Office and UPS do a great job of delivery, deliveries will slow down around the holidays just from the sheer volume of mail and packages, and we have no control over bad weather delays or shipping snafus. Standard shipping packages may take more than a week to be delivered.
Every item page lists a timeframe for delivery (ie "usually ships next business day" or "usually ships in 5-7 days") These guidelines are accurate, but they are guidelines, not promises. We are working around the clock to ensure that orders are shipped in a timely manner, but we may encounter some issue that makes delivery according to our usual practices impossible. We do promise that every order will be reviewed by an actual person, and that if Christmas delivery looks like it might be a problem, we will let you know as fast as possible.
When placing an order, please keep in mind that personalized items will NOT ship out the same day. The chart below addresses time-in-transit, but if your order includes special orders or personalization, you must allow extra time. Please contact us if you have any doubts about our ability to meet your deadline.
Finally, there is a box on the checkout pages for you to indicate when your package must arrive. Please use it; if we know what your deadline is, we can help make sure the package gets to you in time! We don't want you to be disappointed, but if we don't know your deadline, it is harder to meet it!

a reasonable expectation for a delivery prior to December 25th.
Please remember that UPS does not count Saturdays and Sundays when calculating time-in-transit. For example, if a package is shipped via UPS next-day-air on a Friday, Monday would be considered the next day.
If you have any doubts,
shop early and choose an expedited UPS shipping method (3 Day Select, 2nd Day Air, Next
Day Air) for your order.
