Holiday Shipping Deadlines: Order By These Dates to Receive Your Rare Breed Maui Gifts on Time

The holiday season is here, and we want to make sure your Rare Breed Maui gifts arrive in time for all the festivities. Because our products are made with care and many items are made-to-order, ordering early is the best way to ensure delivery before Christmas.

Below are the recommended “order by” dates for the 2025 holiday season. These timelines include production and shipping estimates so you know exactly what to expect.

🌺 MADE-TO-ORDER ITEMS (All Apparel + Select Accessories)

Order by: December 1
These items are printed, stitched, or produced after your order is placed. Ordering by Dec. 1 gives enough time for production and USPS delivery.  Please make a note that we cannot control the delivery time of our shipping carriers.  Lately USPS has been delayed for various shipping across the United States, Hawai'i and Internationally.  Don't wait until Dec. 1st to place your order as our apparel and select accessories are often shipped from overseas.

📦 READY-TO-SHIP ITEMS (Stickers, Stationery, Select Accessories)

Order by: December 15
If your cart is filled with ready-made items (or mixed items), order by this date for the best chance of arrival before Christmas.

📬 USPS Shipping Cut-Offs (General Guidance)

While USPS does not guarantee holiday delivery unless Express is purchased, here are their typical recommendations:

• First Class Mail: Dec. 17
• Priority Mail: Dec. 18
• Priority Mail Express: Dec. 20

These USPS estimates are not guaranteed, which is why our shop deadlines are earlier.  Please note that we do not recommend waiting till this time frame to place your order since all of our items are made when ordered.  We do want to provide you with is info incase you are planning to ship something to someone before the holiday.
