The Holiday's Are Fast Approaching!
This page will keep you informed of delivery schedules and when our workshop annex will be closed. We want everyone to receive their goodies in time for celebrating, so as the saying goes:
“Shop Early And Beat The Rush!”
This Is Not A Guarantee, Have A Backup Plan
The schedule below is a guideline, not a guarantee.
While we do our best to get all orders printed and shipped as quickly as possible, there are things that we have no control over that can negatively impact delivery timelines. We recommend placing your order as soon as possible to ensure you have the best chances of meeting your holiday deadlines.
Don’t Wait Until The Last Minute
When ordering, please know each order requires a manufacturing period and a ship period. Average manufacturing times are listed below, however keep in mind that they can change due to the large holiday volume!
Softcover manufacturing time takes between 4-6 business days*
Hardcover manufacturing time takes between 5-7 business days*
Special product manufacturing time takes between 5-10 business days*
Please Note: Blizzards, power outages, or more likely file issues with your book do happen, so we recommend you order as soon as possible. Postal Delivery errors do occur with increased frequency during the holiday season. We do not issue refunds or reprints due to delivery delays that are beyond our control.
Please check back frequently for updates and last minutes adjustments to the schedule!
Current Operations Status
Present Issues:
- Shipping to/within Canada: We are seeing significant shipping and delivery delays due to the recently resolved Canada Post strike. Alternate shipping companies such as Purolator, UPS and FedEx are undergoing intermittent pauses in shipments due to the overwhelming demand caused by this strike. While we are doing our best to navigate these issues as best as possible, orders that are delayed in shipping or do not arrive by hopeful deadlines are unable to be refunded.
- Potential shipping cost increases during the holiday season*
- USPS mail service has been temporarily suspended to certain international destinations

Production during Holidays
Re: Production during Holidays
With the holiday rush its hard to say when things will go into production and when things will ship. This schedule is based on receiving the book by Christmas. With your order being needed by the 28th, it would be cutting it VERY close. It would also depend on binding and method of shipping.
Have a great day, please let us know if you have any other questions!
Happy Holidays!
