We know it's the not the MOST exciting news, but since we use the United States Postal Service (or USPS for short) for our packages, we wanted to let you know what the schedule and cut-off dates are looking like leading up to the holidays.

We plan on shipping out packages until the absolute last mail day, but of course it's always better to err on the side of caution and contact us should you have a specific question or need. We will try to accomodate all reasonable requests. Please note: These are USPS guidelines, and are not 100% guaranteed by them.
