We process orders quickly, but you might wonder "When will my order arrive?"

PartyPail ships from several different warehouses around the country. We are conservative when we quote delivery date estimates, assuming the longest time in transit for Ground shipments. Orders placed on Monday through Thursday after 6:00 PM Eastern Time are processed the next business day. Orders placed over a weekend are processed on Monday. Delivery time depends on the shipping method you choose; shipping times begin AFTER the order leaves our warehouse. Typical delivery time for Ground shipping is five business days (excluding the day your order shipped). Remote locations and APOs may take longer; we reserve the right to use a shipping method other than the one you select.

Based on the day your order is SHIPPED, we estimate your delivery date as follows:

Shipment Date	2 Day UPS Delivery Date	3 Day UPS Delivery Date	Estimated Priority Mail Delivery Date*	Ground Delivery Date
Monday	Wednesday	Thursday	Thursday - Saturday*	Following Monday
Tuesday	Thursday	Friday	Friday - Following Monday*	Following Tuesday
Wednesday	Friday	Monday	Saturday - Tuesday*	Following Wednesday
Thursday	Monday	Tuesday	Monday - Wednesday*	Following Thursday
Friday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Tuesday - Thursday*	Following Friday

*USPS PRIORITY MAIL DOES NOT GUARANTEE A SPECIFIC DELIVERY DATE - THESE ARE SIMPLY DELIVERY ESTIMATES BASED ON OUR EXPERIENCE TO ADDRESSES WITHIN THE CONTIGUOUS 48 STATES.

PLEASE NOTE - order processing lead times are longer on personalized items, specialty items such as diaper cakes, and some favors. Please refer to the "Check Ship Date" link on the product detail page for each product you are ordering for complete details.

UPS 2-Day and 3-Day Rush Delivery Options

For expedited shipping, we offer a choice of 3-day and 2-day listed shipping options. Shipping times always begin the day after the shipment leaves our warehouse. Typically, the shippers we use do not include weekends and holidays in their delivery time estimates, and do not deliver on weekends or national holidays. For example, a 2-day order shipped on Thursday will arrive Monday rather than Saturday.

Overnight Delivery Options

We can custom quote an overnight rush delivery if you really need something that quickly. For custom quotes, please use the Contact Us page; include your shipping address and a list of the items you wish to order.

USPS Priority Mail Shipping

For anyone else who desires to use the USPS Priority Mail service, we do offer the option. Shipping times always begin the day after the order leaves our warehouse, and USPS Priority Mail is generally a 2 to 4 day delivery service; they also deliver on Saturdays, whereas UPS does not.

Don't select this option if:

• You want guaranteed delivery dates, with detailed, trackable, delivery status. If you want this type of service, select our UPS 2 Day or 3 Day shipping options to take advantage of UPS' great shipment tracking capabilities. Priority Mail does not provide detailed tracking status on packages in their system.
• Insurance on your product - although packages shipped via USPS ARE insured, this merely enables us to send you a replacement package more quickly should your original package go missing. In this scenario, delays are unavoidable.

* A note of caution: USPS Priority Mail is not trackable the same way as UPS, and does not offer a guaranteed delivery timeframe. Our experience is that orders arrive in 2 - 4 mail days (excluding Sundays and holidays) 95-98% of the time.

Mother Nature & Delivery Delays

Unfortunately Mother Nature can impact your delivery date – please plan accordingly. This includes ordering early, and taking into consideration any weather conditions your package may encounter during its journey from our facility to your doorstep.

Order Verification: Billing & Shipping Address Issues, and Surcharges

If the "Ship To" location is different than the "Bill To" location, we may delay your order until we can confirm the details of your order via telephone. Please provide an accurate phone number where you can be reached during the day.

If the billing address does not match the address on file with your bank, your order will be delayed until we can verify your billing address. To avoid order processing delays, please make sure you enter the exact address where your credit card or debit card statement is mailed in the "Bill To" fields in the shopping cart.

If your shipment requires extraordinary handling by our shipper due to the order having a wrong address, no one being available to receive the shipment, or any other reason, we will pass along those charges to you at the cost we've been charged by our shipping provider, and charge the credit card used in the original purchase.
