Holiday Shipping Cutoff: Order by December 5th for Christmas Delivery
Every year around this time, we start getting questions about holiday shipping, so I wanted to put together a clear and honest update about timelines. If you’re hoping to have your Mochipan pieces arrive before Christmas, the final day to place your order is December 5th. You can totally order after that, and it may very well arrive in time for Christmas, but after December 5th we can no longer guarantee it will arrive in time due to holiday congestion.
That might feel surprisingly early, but there’s a good reason for it. Throughout most of the year, our packages arrive within about a week to a week and a half. It’s usually quick and predictable. But once December rolls in, everything changes. Carriers get overloaded, regional warehouses back up, and tracking updates can lag behind reality.
Because Mochipan is a small team and your orders matter so much to us, I don’t want to take chances with holiday timing. Setting the cutoff at December 5th gives us enough space to pack your order carefully, get it out the door promptly, and still build in a cushion for the extra holiday traffic. It’s important to me that if you’re ordering something as a gift—whether for someone you love or for yourself—it arrives without the stress of wondering if it will make it in time. That being said, it is always best practice to order as early as you can. I also understand that with certain restock schedules that might not be possible, so I hope this blog post clears some confusion up.
The holidays can already be hectic, and my goal is to take a little bit of that pressure off your shoulders. I truly believe in the beauty of Christmas, and I know how magical it is to open a beautifully wrapped present you've been asking for on
If you’re thinking about ordering something for Christmas, please mark December 5th on your calendar or place your order when you can. As always, thank you for supporting this small brand. Your orders help keep the lights on, the creativity flowing, and the designs coming to life, and I’m genuinely grateful for each and every one.
Happy Holidays,
Rae
