Frequently Asked Questions

Ordering

• Can I pay for more than one letter at a time?

  Yes. Once you have customized a letter to your liking, click the “Create a Letter” link to create an additional letter. All of these letters (complete or incomplete) will be visible on the “Review Order” page. You can click the “Remove” button on the “Review Order” page to remove the letter from your shopping cart.

• I want to order a single letter for a family of two or more children. How do I do this?

  Enter the children’s names in the “First Name” field. Enter the last name in the “Last Name” field. Select “Multiple” for the age range and gender fields.

• Can multiple letters be combined into a single envelope?

  We apologize, we do not offer this option at this time. Each letter gets its own envelope.

• Can I order the add-ons separately?

  We apologize, we do not sell or mail these separately.

• What shipping method should I select when I place my order?

  For Best Results. We recommend you consult the following table when ordering your letter. This will give the recipient the best chance possible to receive their letter from Santa before Christmas:

  • October. Standard shipping OK.
  • November. Standard shipping OK.
  • December. Mandatory Priority Shipping minimum.

• When should I order my letter?

  Order your letter as soon after October 1 as possible. This will save you shipping costs and the worry of wondering if your letter will arrive before Christmas.

Shipping

• When are letters shipped?

  The letters are shipped according to the following schedule:

  • October. Orders placed in October are shipped the Monday before Thanksgiving.
  • November. Orders placed in November are shipped the Monday before Thanksgiving. Thereafter, orders are shipped daily.
  • December. Orders placed in December are shipped within 24 hours.
  • Wrong Address. During the checkout process you will have the chance to recheck the shipping address. You are encouraged to do so. Orders with wrong or incomplete addresses may be assessed a service fee if the letter has already been sent.
  • Standard Shipping. Please allow 3-14 days for delivery.
  • Priority Shipping. Please allow 2-3 days for delivery. During December, we have found it to be more like 3-8 days. Tracking number is available upon request.
  • Express (Overnight) Shipping. Please allow 1-2 days for delivery. Tracking number is available upon request.

• Why did only one letter arrive when I ordered two or more for the same household?

  Multiple letters to the same household are delivered to the post office at the same time. After that, it is not unusual for one letter to show up before the other letter(s). Be prepared to tell the “forgotten” child that Santa did not forget them, and that their letter will be arriving shortly.
