As the holidays draw near, it’s important to plan ahead to ensure your gifts arrive on time. Here are the key details for shipping deadlines this year, including important distinctions between originals and prints or off-site items like ornaments, puzzles, and flags.
Please note: you are able to choose your shipping method at checkout. However, these deadlines are noted based on my travel schedule! Please do not rely on checkout estimations - My FINAL shipping drop off date is December 17!!!
Key Deadlines for Shipping
Original Artwork
- Standard Shipping Deadline: December 13
- Rush Shipping Deadline: December 17 (extra fees will apply)
- After December 17: Orders for originals will only be available for local pickup in Schaumburg, IL, or they will not arrive in time for Christmas.
Prints & Off-Site Items (Ornaments, Puzzles, Flags, Etc.)
- Final Order Deadline: December 10
For these items, earlier deadlines ensure there is enough time for production and delivery. Please note that for items produced off site (through other drop shipping services) I cannot control their shipping speed, and delays are possible. Please place those orders as early as possible to ensure holiday delivery.
Preferred Shipping Methods
For the ultimate tracking and reliability, please choose UPS or FedEx at checkout. I will use USPS if that is your choice, however, UPS or FedEx will offer the most security and fastest arrival times.
International Orders
If you are placing an order from outside the United States, please contact me directly before ordering to discuss shipping options and timelines.
What Happens If Your Order Can’t Arrive in Time?
If an order is placed before the deadline, but due to your location, weather, or other delays it cannot be fulfilled in time for Christmas, I’ll offer you two options for the shipping cost:
- Full Refund of shipping fees
- Store Credit for future use
Order Early to Avoid Stress!
The holidays are a busy time, so please don’t wait until the last minute to place your order. These deadlines ensure your gifts arrive as expected and allow me to provide the best possible service.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to help!
Happy holidays and thank you for supporting my art this season. 🎄
