Holiday Shipping Schedule
You can shop later into the season and save on express
shipping costs by shopping with us. Here's why:
- When you click the "add to cart" button in
our store, the system checks inventory on that item. The number shown
as "In Stock" is the number we have on our shelf at that moment,
ready to ship. Unlike most online stores, we don't forward your order
to a fulfillment center that may not actually have the product in
stock. If the shopping basket says it's in stock, it's here, ready to
go.
-
Every order that is placed by
3PM central time during the week is shipped the same day. Orders
placed after 3PM, or over the weekend, ship the following weekday.
We're fairly centrally located, in Illinois, so ground shipments never cross
the whole country. Most ground shipments arrive in 5 business days or
less. See the bottom of the page for more information.
We will be shipping every weekday through December
21st. We cannot guarantee on time delivery, once the package leaves our
dock, it's up to the shipper. To see what UPS can guarantee, please see www.ups.com
. Following is our understanding of the UPS policy:
- By choosing "Next Day" delivery, you can
place an order as late as Friday December 21st at 3PM Central time, which
would be delivered Christmas eve. Any "Next day" package
ordered by 3PM on a weekday should be received the following weekday.
- By choosing "Second day" delivery, you can
place an order as late as Thursday December 20th at 3PM Central time, which
would be delivered Christmas eve. Any "Second day" package
ordered by 3PM on a weekday should be received on the second weekday after
the order is placed.
- By choosing "Three day" delivery, you can
place an order as late as Wednesday December 19th at 3PM Central time, which
would be delivered Christmas eve. Any "Three day" package
ordered by 3PM on a weekday should be received on the third weekday after
the order is placed.
Below is a map of estimated delivery time for ground
shipments from our location at zip code 60585. I would recommend that you
check with the UPS site at www.ups.com to
verify that they are still promising normal transit times through the
holidays. You can use the transit time tool here http://wwwapps.ups.com/calTimeCost?loc=en_US
. The "Ship from" data is Plainfield (Illinois), zip code 60585.
