Not much has changed to our normal safe shipping dates from year to year. This years overall "safe" holiday shipping deadline was December 11, but most items can still be ordered after that. However, at this point, many may not arrive before Christmas - here's more detail for you to decide for yourself:

Important note: shirt or sticker orders after December 17 will not ship until January 6

The truth is that there's nothing magical about the "safe" shipping deadline I give, which this year was December 11. Orders that come through on the 12th aren't treated any differently - its just a date that broadly gives plenty of time for the range of products I offer, based on how long it usually takes for them to ship after ordering. It also accounts for standard delivery times based on watching other orders over the last few weeks. I'm not seeing many unusual issues lately, but federal services like mail are all dealing with new challenges this year. 

The basics:
- Safe Holiday Shipping Deadline: December 11
- Shirts & Stickers Holiday Safe Shipping Deadline: December 15
- Gift cards are always available and deliver instantly via email
- Shirts & Stickers ordered after Dec 17 will not ship until Jan 6

The companies I work with always work overtime during holidays to get things shipped as fast as possible, and every year, there's always a late order well beyond my deadlines that somehow gets there in time. But to play it safe, here is more info to help you decide if its too late to order:

Basic framed prints, magnets, tote bags, and mugs lately usually ship 3-7 days after ordering; shipping for these can take 3-7 days.

Hats and unframed prints usually ship around 5 days after ordering; then shipping usually takes 2-6 days.

Shirts and stickers usually ship 2 days after ordering; then shipping usually takes 2-6 days.

And finally, I always take some family time over the Christmas holiday. Since I ship or deliver shirt and sticker orders myself, those orders go on hold for a few weeks. This year, shirt and sticker orders received after December 17 will not ship until January 6. All other products continue to ship as normal, though.

If you're in doubt, feel free to contact me before ordering for more details or clarification on what you are about to order. No matter when you order, we'll do our best to get it to you, but the later the date, the higher the risk that it won't arrive in time.

As always, thanks for continuing to support OsoPorto.  I will take my usual break from popups and events during first quarter of 2026, but watch for things back in full swing come April or May. Hope your holidays are excellent, and look forward to seeing you in 2026!
