Getting the Timing Right
- Galentine’s Day is February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day, which is one of the busiest shipping weeks of the year.
- Check the delivery date for each address at checkout, not just the “fast shipping” label.
- Personalized items take longer. Order engraved or custom gifts at least two to three weeks ahead.
- Out of time? A digital gift card or subscription can be delivered by email on the day.
For international friends, check customs rules and order at least three weeks ahead.
Before You Buy
