2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines
Share
Here is a quick guide to this year’s recommended order by dates, already adjusted for my 3 PM ET shipping cutoff for next business day processing. If you order by these dates, your package should arrive before Christmas.
These are estimates from USPS and UPS. Weather and carrier delays can always happen, so earlier is always better if you can.
