The holidays seem to start earlier and earlier every year, and with them comes the shipping crunch. Planning ahead and having a solid understanding of shipping deadlines is the best way to ensure that your holiday purchases make it in time for the big day!
Luckily, I have you covered with this handy shipping deadline guide, so that you will have the best chance of getting your purchases by Christmas. However, please note that these deadlines only apply to in-stock, non-customized designs. This means if you are ordering a personalization, such as engraving, or a completely custom piece the deadline will be different. Make sure to ask about your custom order shipping times if you are concerned about getting them on time.
All cutoff dates are the date you will need to make your in-stock purchase for it to ship on time, which allows for our processing time of 3-5 business days. If you would like your order to go out same-day, please make sure to add Rush Processing to your cart.
