Holiday Shipping Deadlines 2021
While you’re busy planning your holiday campaigns, it’s important to keep in mind your print lab's shipping deadlines for the season, especially for product campaigns! We’ve collected all lab deadlines here so you can easily find the info you need to help your clients get their gifts on time.
This post will be updated as we get new deadlines and information, so be sure to bookmark it so you can refer to the dates!
Client Order Notifications
The estimated arrival time for product orders can be viewed in the client’s shopping cart and in their confirmation email. If your client chooses a product that will not be delivered in time for Christmas, a checkbox will appear in their cart to verify that they understand and accept that their order will not arrive before December 24th. They will be able to place their order only after they check this box.
