A letter from Santa. Or the Easter Bunny. Addressed to your kid.

You choose. Holiday letters arrive before the holiday, and any letter can be scheduled to arrive by a date you pick, like a birthday. Each letter shows three dates: order by the first and delivery is guaranteed; order in the window after it and the letter may still make it, but it isn't guaranteed; order after the last date and it won't arrive in time. Letters set to go "as soon as possible" are mailed within 2 business days.

Yes, and it's the easiest way to never miss a date. Order a Christmas letter in September or an Easter letter for next spring; we hold it and mail it at the right time so it arrives shortly before your date, not weeks early.

From U.S. Postal Service delivery standards. First-Class Mail takes up to 5 delivery days (Monday through Saturday, excluding federal holidays), with an extra day in December to match USPS's own holiday recommendations. We add the 2 business days we take to print and mail, then another 2 days of cushion. If a letter ordered by its guaranteed date arrives late, we'll refund it.

The U.S. Postal Service runs a seasonal program where letters sent through the post office in North Pole, Alaska are stamped with a special North Pole postmark. When you add it, we mail your Santa or Elf letter through that program, so the envelope arrives postmarked from North Pole, AK. Postmarked letters travel to Alaska in a batch in late November, so there's an earlier order deadline. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by USPS.
