From Table to Stocking: Shipping Deadlines for Holiday Orders

From Table to Stocking: Shipping Deadlines for Holiday Orders

If you’re planning to gift a playmat this season—or want one in time for your own holiday game nights—timing is everything. While I print and ship domestically for faster turnaround, it’s still smart to plan ahead, especially as carriers get busier in December.

For guaranteed Christmas delivery, USPS recommends the following deadlines for packages shipped within the contiguous United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii):

  • USPS Ground Advantage: Order by December 17

  • Priority Mail: Order by December 18

  • Priority Mail Express: Order by December 20

These dates are based on USPS’s official guidance and assume no unforeseen delays. If you’re ordering a playmat as a gift, I recommend placing your order at least 1–2 days before these cutoffs to allow time for packing and processing.

All mats are rolled, packed securely, and shipped with tracking. If you’d like to include a gift note or seasonal wrap, just mention it at checkout—I’m happy to make it feel special.

Whether it’s going under the tree or onto your table, I want your mat to arrive on time and in perfect shape. If you’re unsure about timing or need help choosing the right shipping method, feel free to reach out—I’ll always give you a clear, honest answer.
