Our Christmas order deadline is December 1st. Orders placed before this date will be shipped to arrive on (or before) any requested arrival date. Orders placed after December 1st will receive second priority and will be shipped on a first-come, first-served basis -- with no guarantee of arriving by the requested date.
Why this December 1st deadline? Many monastery products are handcrafted in small facilities. Plus, with declining vocations, they are often short-staffed. So, they need long lead times in order to make and deliver their high quality products.
We appreciate your business and your patience!
