2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines for Paula McNulty Designs
The holiday season is fast approaching, and before the hustle and bustle of the season takes over, it’s time to plan ahead for your handmade holiday gifts! Whether you’re shopping for Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule or Kwanzaa, I want to make sure you’re fully prepared with my 2025 holiday shipping deadlines for ordering from paulamcnulty.com.
Since most of my pieces are made-to-order, placing your order early ensures I have enough time to craft, wrap, and ship your one-of-a-kind gifts so they arrive in time for the festivities.
Below you’ll find all the key dates and information to keep in mind when placing your holiday orders.
Holiday Shipping Deadlines for U.S. Customers
For U.S. customers, orders shipped via Ground Advantage must be placed by December 9th to ensure they arrive before Christmas.
If you’re using Priority Mail, the deadline is December 10th.
For faster delivery, Priority Express is available, with an order-by date of December 14th.
Customers in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico should place Ground Advantage orders by December 8th to allow enough transit time.
Holiday Shipping Deadlines for APO/FPO/DPO Addresses
For military addresses, orders shipped via Priority Mail should be placed by December 1st, as these destinations often take additional time during the holiday season.
Holiday Shipping Deadlines for International Customers
For customers shipping outside the U.S., please place your Esty orders by November 24th to allow enough time for delivery before December 25th.
If ordering at paulamcnulty.com, the order deadlines are as follows:
UPS Worldwide Expedited - December 13th
UPS Worldwide Express - December 14th
DHL - Express Worldwide - December 14th
International shipping times can vary greatly depending on location and customs, so ordering early is always the best approach.
Order Early Tips for a Smooth Holiday Season
The holiday rush can get hectic, but a little planning now can save you a lot of stress later! Here are a few helpful tips to make sure your gifts arrive on time and in perfect condition:
-
Order as early as possible. Every piece is handmade and made at the time of order, allowing extra time ensures your order receives the care and attention it deserves.
-
Consider faster shipping options. If you’re ordering later in December, choose Priority or Priority Express to increase the chances of pre-holiday delivery.
-
Keep an eye on tracking. Keep an eye on your tracking details once your order ships. You can follow its journey every step of the way. And if anything comes up along the way, I’m just a message away and happy to help with any shipping hiccups.
-
Remember weather and postal delays. These are beyond my control, but ordering early minimizes their impact.
-
Add gift wrapping. I offer a beautiful holiday wrapping service so your piece arrives ready to gift.
