Christmas Shipping Cutoff Guide

Get Your Genealogy Gifts in Time for Christmas! 🎁

Christmas is the busiest shipping season of the year, and we want to make sure your keepsakes arrive before Dec 24. Below you’ll find the recommended order-by dates for each product type when shipping within the USA.

Please note that carriers typically get hammered in December, so ordering early is the best way to avoid delays.

For International orders, shipping is typically between 10-30 days (after production). Accordingly, whilst we will do our best to get your purchase to you as quickly as possible, delivery by Dec 24 cannot be guaranteed.

Final Order-By Date for Guaranteed Christmas Delivery (USA)

📅 December 10 — US Time (PST)

Orders placed by the end of December 10 (PST) are expected to arrive before Christmas.
Orders placed after this date may still arrive, but delivery cannot be guaranteed due to holiday carrier volume.
