The holidays are your busiest season, and your customers want their gifts on time. Use the cut-off dates below to plan your orders so parcels arrive before Christmas and New Year.
Key terms
Ship-out date. The date your parcel leaves our warehouse. This is not your order date.
Cut-off date. The last recommended ship-out date for holiday delivery in each region.
On-time delivery rate. The share of parcels that arrived on time last year. We base our cut-offs on an estimated 80% on-time rate.
Things to keep in mind
These dates are warehouse ship-out dates, not order dates.
Parcels shipped by these dates have roughly an 80% chance of arriving in time. Ship earlier for a higher success rate.
These dates are estimates based on last year’s delivery data, not a guarantee.
The EU, AU, and CA row uses the earliest date of the three regions to keep your plans safe.
Don’t promise Christmas delivery for Canada orders shipping from our bonded warehouse. Last year’s on-time rate on this route topped out at around 75%.
