The holidays are here! Hopefully, you’ve already checked off the bulk of your holiday gift lists. But don’t worry if you haven’t — Swappa has you covered.
Swappa Holiday Shipping Deadlines
Swappa sellers are required to ship items 2 days after receiving payment using their preferred shipping provider (FedEx, UPS, US Postal Service, etc). However, widespread shipping delays make it tricky to pinpoint exactly when a package will reach its destination. Swappa recommends including a one-week buffer in order to ensure that you aren’t affected by any potential delays.
Here’s when you should have ordered by in order to guarantee delivery by Christmas:
Last day to ship United States Postal Service before Christmas
- USPS Retail Ground – Dec. 15 (order by : Dec. 8)
- First-Class Mail Service – Dec. 18 (order by: Dec. 11)
