Holiday Shipping Deadlines 2023
The holiday season is just around the corner, and we've got your back when it comes to print lab shipping deadlines. We’re providing all the key dates you need to ensure that your clients receive their gifts on time.
Remember to bookmark this post for easy reference, as we'll be continually updating it with the latest information!
Holiday CLIENT ORDER NOTIFICATIONS
Clients will be able to view the estimated arrival time for product orders in their shopping cart and confirmation email. To prevent any uncertainty with deliveries, if your client chooses a product that won’t 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.
Shipping Surcharges
Between the months of mid-October and the beginning of January, BayPhoto, Richard Photo Lab, and WHCC will have added shipping surcharges to the current shipping costs.
