Orders shipping within the United States:

December 17th: Last day for folks on the East Coast and in the Mid-West to place an order with UPS Ground ($10) as their shipping method with guaranteed delivery by or on Tuesday, December 24th. Don't worry: you can still place an order and choose expedited shipping ($20 and up) for December 24th delivery up until Monday the 23rd.

December 19th: Last day for those in Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, and Southern California to place an order with UPS Ground as their shipping method with guaranteed delivery by or on December 24th. Note to East Coast folks: this is the last day to select UPS 3 Day Select shipping for guaranteed December 24th delivery.

December 20th: Everyone: choose UPS 2nd Day Air as your shipping method for guaranteed delivery by or on December 24th. Exception: Washington State, Oregon, Utah, Northern California, Northern Idaho, Western Montana or Northern Nevada folks can still choose UPS Ground.

December 21st:We're shipping UPS 2nd Day Air, Next Day Air, and International shipments, even though it's a Saturday -- UPS is working and that means we do too. For example: an order placed with Next Day Air shipping by 12:30pm on Saturday, December 21st will shipped on Saturday and received on Monday, December 23rd, while an order placed with 2nd Day Air shipping will be received on Tuesday, December 24th. UPS Ground and 3 Day Select orders will ship on December 23rd.

December 23rd: Order today by 12:30pm and choose Next Day Air as your shipping method for guaranteed delivery on December 24th.

December 24th: Our Seattle factory showroom will be open 10am - 2:00pm for last minute shopping and we'll be answering your phone calls and emails. Our shipping department will ship orders as usual, though they will not be delivered until after Christmas. Need a last minute gift? Order a Gift Certificate and have it delivered instantly to your friend or family member via email with a personalized gift message.

December 25th: We will be closed. Have fun -- that's what we'll be doing! Orders received over the holiday will ship Wednesday, December 26th. P.S. There's still the option of ordering a Gift Certificate with instant email delivery to your loved one's inbox.

Orders shipping outside of the United States:

For our customers in Canada, Japan, Germany, Australia and everywhere else outside of the United States: we recommend placing your order by or on Friday, December 13th for guaranteed delivery by or on December 24th. Note that we are adding a couple of days on to the usual 2-5 business day transit time because of customs and high package volume.
