The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause issues with the supply chain, labor market and mail delivery, driving ripple effects across all industries, especially retail & e-commerce. We are and have been doing our best to work through the challenges and deliver the great experience Smithsonian Store customers expect and deserve.
With extremely high demand, and in an effort to deliver the best holiday experience we possibly can, we are making the following changes:
- We are moving our standard shipping cutoff to Thursday, December 8th to allow enough time to process and ship orders for holiday delivery. At this time, most orders will ship from our warehouse within 10 days.
- We will be upgrading shipping methods at our cost to ensure that all orders for in-stock items placed before the shipping cutoff will arrive by 12/23.
We are focused on continuing to process orders quickly and operate the business safely. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for being a loyal Smithsonian Store customer. Every purchase you make contributes to this incredible Institution and its mission, and we’re grateful for your support.
- If your gift is going to be delayed, print out this card for your gift recipient.
