Tips to Ensure Your Packages Arrive on Time
While we can't guarantee that your orders will arive by Christmas, we have some tips to make sure you can get them to their destinations ASAP.
Ship early – Don’t wait until the last minute! Send packages as soon as you can, ideally before any deadlines.
Choose the right shipping method – Not all shipping will get there on time. Use expedited or priority services for shipping across country (or even continents) and be sure to check transit times.
Double-check addresses – You don't want any of your Christmas gifts going to the wrong place. Make sure ZIP codes, apartment numbers, and street addresses are correct.
Use tracking and delivery alerts – Tracking will be your best friend during the week before Christmas. Track your packages and set up notifications to catch any delivery issues early!
Check carrier cutoff dates – We already did the hard work for you, but you can still look up USPS, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon deadlines and plan accordingly.
