Curious if we know what the cutoff date is for standard shipping to arrive by X-Mas. Wasn't sure if that info was available yet or not... TIA!:chef:

Hmph. I made holiday promotional postcards today on vistaprint and can't order them yet b/c I don't know what the shipping cut off date is! I'll call home office tomorrow and see what they say.
 
And people claim I start talking about Christmas too early. ;)

Yes, that. And it's usually around the 10th-15th of December, depending on what day of the week Christmas falls.
 
I usually tell people who ask before we have a definite date that it's best to order by the first week in December, just to be safe.
 
If you really want a particular date, count 10 business days backward. 5 business days for processing of the order (since that's HO's max), and 5 business days for shipping. That would make it December 11th.
