Christmas Order Deadlines

Christmas 2021 Order Deadlines

It is well known that COVID-19 has driven many people to do their shopping online. This is good for combating the spread of the virus. It has, however, put a strain on the companies, like us, who need to process and pack the orders as well as the companies that deliver them.

Everything is taking longer. Instead of packing your order within 24 hours, we are now looking at up to 3 or 4 days. Canada Post and the big couriers have lengthened many of their delivery times. Where a package would normally be delivered in 2 business days, it can take at least 3 days now.

The bottom line is that it is going to take your order longer to get processed this year and longer to have it received. 

What can you do? Order early or, if in the area, use our free Click & Collect pickup option.

While you are searching for that perfect gift, keep in mind that retailers can differ in the amount of time it takes to process an order at this busy time of year. Shipping times will also vary depending on the carrier and where the package is going. Winter in Canada can also throw a spanner into the works and cause delivery delays.

We have been shipping orders for over 18 years and based on that experience, we present our Order Deadline dates for Christmas 2021. 

We are confident that orders received by end of day indicated will be delivered to their destination before Christmas Day. These dates take into consideration the backlog in our own facility and the backlogs that will occur during shipment. Orders placed after the deadlines will be processed to the best of our ability but they may not arrive in time for Christmas.
