Holiday Shipping Deadlines

For Christmas delivery in the U.S., order by Friday, December 18, at 12 PM ET with Standard Shipping. Running late? Choose Express or FedEx 2 Day by Tuesday, December 22, or FedEx Overnight by Wednesday, December 23, both by 12 PM ET.

2026 order-by dates for Christmas delivery

Dates apply to U.S. addresses. Expedited services run on business days, so an Overnight order that ships on a Friday arrives Monday. You'll choose your shipping method at checkout.

Good to know

• Orders usually ship within one business day. If something holds up your order, we'll email you with an update.
• We can't guarantee Christmas delivery. These dates are our best estimate based on carrier transit times, and carriers get busy in December. Standard shipping isn't time-guaranteed. Expedited shipping charges are refunded if the carrier misses its delivery commitment.
• Once a package is delivered, it's in your hands. If tracking shows it was delivered and you can't find it, contact us within 7 days and we'll help investigate with the carrier.

What shipping costs

Standard U.S. shipping is a flat $9 or $11, depending on the state. Express, FedEx 2 Day, and FedEx Overnight are priced by speed, order size, and destination. You'll see every option and its price at checkout before you pay.

Sending it as a gift

• Ship it straight to them. Enter the recipient's address at checkout.
• Add a free gift note. We print it on a card and tuck it in with the order.
• They won't see the price. We never include receipts, invoices, or pricing in any shipment.
• Order now, ship later. Pick a future ship date at checkout and we'll send it closer to the day.

Too late to ship?

A Bar & Cocoa gift card arrives by email, so it's never too late.

We're closed Friday, December 25, for Christmas, and Thursday, December 31, through Sunday, January 3, for New Year's. Orders placed while we're closed ship when we reopen.
