Shipping FAQ’s - USA
How long will my order take to arrive?
Please Note: Christmas is our busiest season. Each year, our team of elves at Christmas HQ work double-time to get orders shipped as quickly as possible. As you might imagine though, a Christmas Shop in the lead up to Christmas gets very, very, busy.
We always endeavour to get orders shipped as soon as possible. During peak times, there may be a slight delay.
Once your order leaves our warehouse:
Please Note: that the following timeframes apply AFTER your order has left the warehouse. During busy periods please allow an additional 48 hours for our team of elite elves to pack your gorgeous decorations.
Standard Shipping - we ship most items using UPS ground service. This means your order will arrive:- Within 3 days of your order being shipped (East Coast USA)
- Within 5-9 days of your order being sent (Central USA)
- Within 7-9 days of your order being sent (West Coast USA)
Please note: We cannot guarantee quoted delivery times for USPS services. We recommend NOT sending items to PO boxes.
Are there faster shipping options?
Where faster services are available, they will be displayed as options during checkout. The availability of services depends upon your location.
