The Importance of Early Shopping

To prevent the risk of missing out on items or experiencing shipping delays, we suggest ordering your gifts as soon as possible. 

We kindly ask that you be aware of the below information before placing your order:

  • During the holidays, many people are shopping, so items can go from in-stock to out-of-stock very quickly.
  • We process orders within 24-48 business hours Monday through Friday.
  • Our shipping and customer care teams do not operate on weekends.
  • We process orders quickly and therefore, we have a short cancellation window.
  • Shipping among all carriers can take longer due to high package volumes.
  • We ship from our offices in Sacramento, California. If you are on the East Coast it can take 7-10 business days for your order to arrive to you without shipping delays.
  • Review our policies before placing your order. Our return policy is 30-days, however, it is extended for the holidays.
  • Review this article for a more in-depth overview of our policies this season.
