  2. When does my order need to ship to arrive in time for Christmas?

    If you are ordering with UPS Ground delivery service, the last day to  ship is Monday, DECEMBER 17th, 2007 for East Coast delivery before Christmas.  Orders must be received no later than 3:00pm PST on December 17th to ship the same day.  We cannot guarantee orders shipped UPS Ground on December 17th or later will arrive to the furthest destinations by December 24st, the last UPS delivery day before Christmas.  From December 18th, you may want to consider upgrading the shipping to UPS 3 Day Select or faster.  Please e-mail or call us to confirm the best method for your order, 1-888-225-2865.

    If your order is USPS priority mail for domestic delivery, you will also need to order the DECEMBER 17th, 2007.  We  are unable to ship USPS orders the same day as the order is received, but generally by the next business day.  There is USPS delivery on Monday, December 24th, 2007.

    For International deliveries, we will ship using  USPS International Priority Service.  In most cases, we will need to quote you the rates.   Please e-mail or call to confirm the transit time and cost to your destination.  In general, these orders should be placed no later than DECEMBER 7th, 2007.  We are NOT responsible for custom delays or customs and additional charges in the destination country.
