Holidays are upon us and we want to make sure you have the most information so we can get your packages out to you in time.
These are the shipping deadlines we have been given. We suggest submitting orders in advance before these deadlines as the carriers can have unexpected delays we cannot control.
These are all estimates that they have given us once shipped tracking and delivery is out of our control.
We will do our best to get all of your packages out as fast as possible.
USA deadlines- Hawaii and Alaska we suggest a sooner deadline
If you have questions if you are cutting a deadline close please reach out and we will try to give you the best information we have.
Please check USPS and UPS website for which services have guaranteed delivery times (we have been told guarantees only apply to USPS Priority Mail Express and UPS Next Day Air)
