Planning to order prints, framed artwork, or personalized gifts for Christmas? We encourage you to order early!
We're already experiencing record order volumes for framed prints, and with the holiday season approaching, we want to help ensure your orders have the best possible chance of arriving before Christmas.
To help you plan, we've established the following recommended ordering deadlines:
| November 9 |
Framed Prints |
| November 30 |
Matted Prints & Individual Mats |
| December 5 |
Stretched & Mounted Canvas Prints |
| December 7 |
All Other Products, including other types of mounted prints |
| December 11 |
Unframed Fine Art Prints, Photo Prints, Posters & Unmounted Canvas |
Why the Early Deadline for Framed Prints?
We're experiencing exceptionally high demand for framed prints this year. As we move further into November, framing moulding supplies can become increasingly limited, and replenishment shipments from our suppliers may take longer than usual.
Ordering early helps minimize the possibility of unexpected production delays. Please remember that framed prints that include mats should follow the November 9 deadline.
Can I Still Order After These Dates?
Absolutely! These are recommended ordering deadlines, not final cutoff dates.
Many orders placed after these dates may still arrive before Christmas. However, as we get closer to the holiday, the likelihood of receiving an order in time gradually decreases due to increasing production volumes, potential material shortages, and shipping carrier delays.
Will These Deadlines Change?
Possibly, and hopefully for the better!
As the holiday season progresses, we'll continue monitoring production capacity, order volumes, material availability, and shipping conditions. If we're confident we can safely extend any of these recommended deadlines, we'll update them to give customers additional time to place their Christmas orders.
Our goal is to provide the longest possible ordering window without creating unrealistic delivery expectations. We encourage you to check back for updates, but recommend planning around the currently published dates rather than counting on an extension.
Our advice is simple: Order as early as possible. This gives us the best opportunity to produce and ship your orders in time for the holidays.
