Holiday Shipping Guide

 

At Timberdoodle, we're excited about the Christmas holiday, and we know you are too. The two big questions when ordering online are, "Will my order get here before Christmas," and "How much will it cost?"

As usual, Timberdoodle is offering plenty of great shipping choices to ensure you have your order when you need it. Here are a two tips to easily finish your Christmas shopping.

1.    Find your gift.

Find your gift. Browse our current sale items and Gift Guides to browse by category and filter by age. Or purchase a Gift Card, and give your people the gift of choosing exactly what they want.

2.    Select a shipping option.

Next, simply select the shipping option that best suits your location and your holiday schedule, and rest assured that your order will be there when you want it!

 

Choose from the following methods:

Economy Shipping (7-10 days) - It’s $9.95 no matter what day you order. A great option for software and books that you won't necessarily need for Christmas. Shipping time can vary from a few days to two weeks, depending on your location and shipping conditions/volumes.

Free Shipping - Usually Arrives within 3-10 shipping days, but keep in mind the likelihood of arriving by Christmas decreases the closer you get.

USPS shipping options:

Depending on your location, you'll be offered Priority Mail (arrives in 1-3 days), or Military mail. USPS offers Saturday delivery, but delivery dates are estimates only - not guaranteed. Here are the recommended send-by dates for expected delivery by December 25th.

Priority Mail Military
APO/FPO/DPO AE ZIP 093 - December 9th
All other ZIPs - December 13th

Priority Mail
December 18th.

UPS shipping options

UPS guarantees their 2-Day and 3-Day delivery dates, which can make this a more desirable way to go if you need to be absolutely sure of when your package will be delivered. Please note that you will need to provide a physical street address (no PO boxes.) Also, there is no Saturday delivery, but packages are delivered in 1-7 business days depending on your location. You can use the UPS Ground Map below to estimate how many shipping days away you are, though we recommend the following date guidelines below to be confident of receiving your package in time.

UPS Ground Flat-Rate - December 16th (To ensure delivery before Christmas after this date, please consider 3-Day or 2nd Day Air.)

UPS 3-Day - December 20th (Delivery on Monday, December 24th.)

UPS 2nd Day Air - December 21st (Delivery on Monday, December 24th.)
