Shipping & Delivery Info

Most items are made to order. All timelines are in business days (Mon–Fri, excluding holidays). The specific production window shown on each product page always takes priority.

🎄 Holiday Shipping & Production Notice

During peak holiday seasons (typically November–January), production and carrier networks may experience higher-than-usual volumes. While most orders ship within the listed windows, please allow extra transit days for delivery. We recommend placing gifts and event orders early.

• Holiday timing: Production estimates on product pages remain your best guide, but may extend slightly during peak weeks.
• Delivery dates: Carrier timelines are estimates and not guaranteed during peak. Your tracking link will show the most current status.
• Have a deadline? Contact us before ordering and we’ll help confirm the fastest path and availability.

🎁 Holiday cutoff: For most U.S. orders, we recommend placing your order by December 8 to help ensure delivery by Christmas. Dates may vary slightly each year — check the site banner or your order confirmation for the most current cutoff information.

📦 Production (Made to Order)

• Standard items: typically 2–5 business days to produce.
• Specialty items/methods: may take 5–8 business days (see product page).
• Custom Creations & Bulk: timelines are quoted during proof/approval.
• Orders placed after 12pm ET count as the next business day.

🚚 U.S. Shipping & Transit

• Standard (US): ~5–10 business days in transit after production.
• Express (US): ~2–3 business days in transit after production (when available).

You’ll receive a tracking email once your order ships. Multiple items may ship separately and receive separate tracking numbers.
