Every.
Single.
Year.
We
get the customer (or two) that are crabby because they "placed their
order THAT WAS A GIFT" on/after December 21st. They expected it to
arrive by Christmas because... duh... It's CHRISTMAS.
But here is the thing...
Christmas
comes every single year on December 25th. I can't do anything about
when packages arrive. I put in conservative deadlines so folks will
understand and can make informed decisions about placing orders.
I want your business. Don't get me wrong.
But I also don't want to be blamed for orders being delayed.
On
top of an actual avalanche of packages in your mail/UPS/FedEx carriers
truck, there are other things to consider. We don't stock roasted
coffee. We never have. Every order is fresh roasted... It is kinda our
thing. We have to process and roast your coffee. The next day, the
packages are picked up.
For the record, here are the
deadlines for 2019. On this note, please don't send me nasty-grams
complaining about your order being delayed. You have been notified ;).
GROUND/FREE
SHIPPING ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY DECEMBER 16, 2019. After that, if you
select "free shipping" we suggest printing a photo of the item you
ordered and putting it in a box for the recipient. Let them know they
will get the order after the New Year. Anticipation builds character.
ALL
ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY DECEMBER 18TH. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you want your
order to arrive on-time, for the love of Christmas, SELECT and pay for
Priority/expedited.
We are closing for a two week
vacation (we are a Mom & Pop business- we don't have employees to
come in for us) December 20th- January 2nd. We are not processing orders
during that time. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience this may
cause.
