CHRISTMAS SHIPPING 2024
Yes the time is upon us already! You're either someone who gets super excited about the holidays or rotates their eyes full 360 degrees; there is no in between.
Regardless of your love or hate for the holiday season, it is now time to consider your online shopping for the holidays so you can consider delivery time.
Canada Shipping
We have currently turned off shipping to Canada due to the strike going on with Canada Post. Our shipping provider has temporarily suspended shipping so as a result, we are too. We unfortunately don't hold any other shipping contacts so other shipping companies are too expensive to use. We will open it up again as soon as we can!
For any open orders that we have with Canadian customers, we will be sending an email to you with your options. Please keep an eye on your inboxes!
Current Shipping Times
Updated 5th Dec
We have officially hit a peak with our Christmas orders and wow. We have never had so many orders at one time with Quirky before, thank you!
As amazing as this is, it is also where I start freaking out because we have a tonne of orders to pack and a tonne of customers to keep happy. Now, the girlies are all rostered on and will be working tirelessly to get these orders out to you, but there is only so fast my team can pack.
Based on our current open orders, we will be packing these orders for a couple more weeks. This means everyone will be waiting a while for their orders to be packed and we can't promise anyone a Christmas delivery (info here). Myself and the team thank you for your patience and promise to pack your orders as quickly and safely as possible!
Australian Orders: Current orders will be fine for Christmas shipping!
International Orders: Unlikely to arrive for Christmas.
Also if you ordered express shipping, I'm also honest about this service in our shipping policy, so please have a read if you aren't familiar. Thanks so much!

Please keep in mind that we have brought these dates a bit earlier for us because we need time to pack orders during busy times.
*Sugar & Spice Orders can't be guaranteed to arrive for Christmas.
*Canada: Items sent to and from Canada may experience significant delays due to planned union strikes, which will impact postal operations and delivery services over the holidays. As a result we have turned off shipping to Canada. Some orders may be stuck in transit as a result. This affects both Standard and Express Post.
