International Shipping Deadlines

International Shipping Deadlines
For delivery by December 24, 2025 using Passport Priority DDP, international customers should place orders by:
- Rest of World: Monday, December 8
- Canada: Monday, December 15
- United Kingdom: Tuesday, December 16
These international deadlines are based on carrier-provided cutoff dates for December 24 delivery. Please note that local customs processing and carrier performance can still impact actual delivery times.
Special Considerations: Pro Tune, Total Shield, Pre-Orders & Backorders
The deadlines above apply to items that are in stock and ready to ship. If your order includes any of the following services or items, please plan accordingly:
Pro Tune or Total Shield: These premium services add extra processing time before your order ships. Check the product page for the "ready to ship" date and ensure that date falls on or before the Christmas deadline for your shipping method and country.
Pre-orders or Backorders: Your order will ship once these items are in stock. The expected ship date will be shown on the product page and/or at checkout. If that date falls after the Christmas deadline for your region and shipping method, we cannot guarantee delivery by December 24.
For the best chance of Christmas delivery, we recommend placing orders that include add-on services, pre-orders, or backorders a few days earlier than the standard deadlines.
Final Tips for Holiday Orders
- Order Early: While we've provided the last possible dates for each shipping method, ordering earlier gives you the best chance of avoiding potential carrier delays during the busy holiday season.
- Choose the Right Shipping Method: If you're placing a last-minute order, consider upgrading to expedited or express shipping to maximize your chances of on-time delivery.
- Understand What We Control: Once your order leaves our warehouse, delivery timing is the responsibility of the carrier. SpeedCubeShop will always ship on time for orders meeting the deadlines above and provide tracking information so you can follow your package's progress. However, severe weather, customs inspections, and other carrier or logistics issues can cause delays outside of our control.
- Last-Minute Shoppers: Digital gift cards are available for last-minute gifts after shipping deadlines have passed—perfect for the cuber in your life!
Important Reminders
Deadlines listed on this page are based on cutoff dates provided directly by our shipping carriers for delivery by December 24, 2025. Placing your order by these deadlines and times gives you the best chance of Christmas delivery, but external factors like weather and customs can still cause unforeseen delays.
We hope this guide helps you navigate your holiday orders with confidence! Plan ahead, choose the right shipping option for your timeline, and rest assured that SpeedCubeShop is committed to getting your order to you as quickly as possible.
Happy cubing, and we wish you a wonderful 2025 holiday season!
