Want it before Christmas? Place your order by December 12.

Created by XYZ Merchandise, Modified on Thu, 20 Nov at 10:00 AM by XYZ Merchandise

The holiday rush is officially here, and we want to make sure your gifts arrive on time. As a small business, we hand-pack every order with care — but once it leaves our hands, we rely on USPS to get your package to you by Christmas.


To give us enough time to process, fulfill, and deliver your shipment to USPS before their official holiday cutoff, we’re asking all customers to place Christmas-arrival orders no later than December 12.

Why December 12?

  • Processing Time: During the holiday season, our order volume increases significantly. We work as quickly as possible, but we’re still a small team — every item is packed by hand.

  • USPS Cutoffs: USPS experiences major holiday congestion every year. Packages may move slowly, skip scans, or show delayed tracking updates. Getting your order into their system early dramatically increases the chance of on-time delivery.

  • Built-In Cushion: Delays happen — weather, routing, or local sorting overflow. December 12 gives us a buffer to help protect your holiday arrival.

What to Expect After You Order

  • You’ll receive a shipment confirmation email once USPS receives your package.

  • Tracking may not update right away — this is normal during peak season.

  • Most packages continue moving even when scans are delayed.

International Customers

Customs processing times vary, and delays are completely outside our control. We recommend ordering as early as possible and using your local postal service’s tracking tools once the package leaves the U.S.


Bottom Line

If you want your order delivered before Christmas, please check out by December 12. After that date, we will continue to ship as quickly as possible, but we cannot guarantee arrival before the holiday.

Thank you for supporting small businesses this season — we truly appreciate you!
