Shopping advice for the holiday season

With the holiday season approaching you may be considering purchasing gifts for a loved one (or yourself). If you're thinking of getting a gift we recommend choosing the fastest method available.

Tips for Holiday Ordering:

• Special Order/Pre-order items estimated to be shipped in November and December can still be subject to delays, so we do not recommend ordering these for gifts.
• Select the fastest method that is available (usually FedEx) and order items already in-stock to help ensure that your package arrives as quickly as possible. If you live in the US, do not use EMS, Air Packet, or Surface Parcel as these methods are currently suspended.
• Keep a close eye on the tracking information, or share your tracking info with your gift recipient. Local postal services are not always reliable about leaving delivery notices or attempting redelivery. Check your tracking information often and contact your post office with any inquiries.

Pre-order items that are listed with a November release month are likely to release near the end of the month and we do not recommend purchasing these as gifts as they are likely to arrive after the holidays.

Delays in customs and by local delivery companies can also increase shipping time.

Please note that even in-stock orders made in the second half of December are likely to arrive after the holidays, so we recommend trying to avoid any last minute shopping.
