Looking toward the Holiday Season

On October 31st, you may start placing your holiday orders.

Our webstore will be closed from October 20-30, to prepare for the holiday season.

Ordering Dates for this Holiday Season
Order by November 10 for Thanksgiving
Order by November 28 for Hanukkah
Order by December 5 for Christmas
Order by December 12 for New Year’s Eve

If you place an order after the deadline, we will process it as soon as we are able.  Last year, we started processing and shipping the “late” orders on December 16th; some made it in time for Christmas and New Year’s.

Our “order by” dates are early because, by Thanksgiving, we often have already received orders for 1000 packages. Our small business is able to pack and ship between 100 to 200 packages each day.  Our team works overtime and on weekends during the holiday season as we want every package to go out as soon as possible.
