No Shipping Dec. 23 (after 10am Pacific) through December 26th. Also no shipping December 31-January 2. I will likely ship on December 27th and December 30 between the two holidays.

Previous Updates:
The only possible arrivals now would be if you ship Priority and ship within Southern California. But still not guaranteed at all. Only shipping time left before Christmas is orders placed before Monday at 10am Pacific (orders must be placed before then).
Please note that USPS and UPS do not guarantee arrival dates, the ones below are all estimates of 'SHOULD' arrive on time.
I will continue to ship past those date of course, but can't guarantee on-time arrival for Christmas (aka Christmas Eve, since they don't deliver on Christmas). I will ship every morning until December 23rd at 10am, just in case.
Orders shipped Priority on the 19th and 20th 'SHOULD' arrive by Christmas Eve.... orders shipped on Monday the 23rd (ordered before 10am Pacific) 'MIGHT' arrive by Christmas Eve, but only if you live in Southern California. Again, all of those are only estimates and not guaranteed.... and also based on USPS and UPS doing their jobs moving the packages.... something I can't help. I have already noticed they are moving a bit slower and skipping scans, so they may not travel as fast as normal.

USPS says the 'last shipping day' to arrive for Christmas is December 18th (Continental US orders only! Hawaii and Alaska are the 16th*). Orders must be placed by 10am Pacific. They of course still do not guarantee anything, but state that it SHOULD arrive on time if shipped by then. I have some ground shipments going on 10 days right now, which is NOT normal! I also highly highly recommend adding the Route Protection on your orders as there is a higher likelihood of lost or damaged orders within the USPS and UPS systems during this time of the year.
I will not refund for shipments that are delivered slower or do not arrive for Christmas.
*International orders never have a guaranteed speed due to customs times, and two shipping companies. I unfortunately cannot control any of those organizations. Canada will definitely not arrive on time given the Canada Post strike. : (. I have currently turned off the ability to order from Canada until it is resolved (while the strike has temporarily just ended, I'm going to wait to turn this back on until they can catch up a bit).
