2025 Shopping Deadlines
Share
I'm sure you know that the different shipping services have deadlines for getting packages to their destinations by the holidays. When shopping from a small business, you also have to remember to give us time to put your package together and get it to these shipping services in time.Â
So here are my holiday deadlines to ensure you get your packages on time. These are for in-stock items, Special Order and Custom Design items will take extra time.Â
First Day of Hanukkah, December 14
The first day of Hanukkah is a Sunday this year, and many shipping services don't deliver on Saturdays, so several of the deadline dates are earlier so the package will arrive by Friday, December 12.
