No crocodiles, rhinoceroses, or ground shipping past December 20th

​
Our goal at Sip and Ship is to help you create happy memories and make all of your Christmas wishes come true. Shipping experts are here to assist you with any mailing needs, no matter how big or how small. While waiting in line is never fun during peak holiday times, we pride ourselves on curating a lovely space for our customers and do our best to make every experience enjoyable.

This week, we have an extra special treat for you to savor in-store; cranberry white chocolate biscotti! There’s no way you’ve hit your quota for eggnog lattes in December, so drink up and cheers to the season.
The days between now and Christmas are dwindling but there’s no need to fret. It’s not too late to ship gifts to your long-distance relatives or besties! Here’s our friendly reminder that today is the last day for ground shipping to the west coast . A few other important deadlines to keep in mind are:

  • Dec 19 3 Day Air East & West Coast
  • Dec 20 USPS Priority Mail West Coast
  • Dec 20 2 Day Air
  • Dec 21 Next Day Air
  • Dec 22 Next Day Air Saturday Delivery
