Holiday Shipping Information

I can’t believe the Holidays are right around the corner. If you haven’t already started making your gift shopping list, start now.  Also plan to shop and ship gifts early.  Every shipping carrier has announced that due to an influx of shipping, they can’t guarantee deliveries will be made by Christmas. Because of this, I recommend making a plan to shop and ship early.

I will be having a holiday sale for Black Friday to Cyber Monday and recommend getting your gifts for friends and family then.  I’ve also included our shipping and shop schedule for the holidays below.

I also wanted to share some additional tips for the holidays

• If you’re buying gifts online that are being shipped to friends and family, a lot of shops will ship it to another address than your own.  Skip the step of having it delivered to you to turn around and ship it to your friends or family. Just include their shipping address instead of yours.  I would suggest also sending a note with your order letting to let the shop owner know this is going to another person and give their name and tell them their shipping address is provided.
• Take advantage of gift wrapping.  While most online stores that offer gift wrapping have an additional charge for this service, that’s a great way to save time for you.  Also, if you’re shipping it to a friend or family member and not yourself, they’ll be pleasantly surprised by a pretty gifts.  Just be sure to let them know to wait to open. 
• Utilize gift cards.  I know that gift cards aren’t as personal as an actual gift, but if you end up shopping for holiday gifts late, a gift card is the perfect alternative.

While the holidays can be a stressful time, give yourself and all of these online shops some grace.  This season can be busy and everyone is doing the best they can given all the challenges of this year.
