Every year we have a deadline for Christmas orders from our Springwater line. If you want something we don’t have in stock, or you want a different colour, it must be ordered by the deadline date in order to ensure that it arrives in time for Christmas. Because of the incredibly high demand right now, the Springwater factory has tremendously long wait times. Therefore, this year’s deadline date is going to be labour day. Our last Springwater shipment for the year will arrive in October, anything ordered prior to labour day will be included in that order. Anything ordered after labour day will not arrive until early 2022.
I know no one wants to think about Christmas right now, but given the continued covid production and shipping delays, this is the last chance to get your orders in for the holiday season.
