Give The Elves At Warehouse 23 The Best Chance!

I swear . . . last time I checked, I was grumbling about Christmas decorations being for sale at the same as Halloween decorations were up, and now I look at the calendar and suddenly December 25 is a handful of days away. Time has no meaning . . .

If you've been thinking about waiting until the last minute to do your shopping from Warehouse 23, please consider this [checks watch] your official last-minute warning. To give your orders the best chance of arriving by Christmas, we recommend you order no later than Monday, December 16. We're not making promises, but we'll do everything within our capabilities to get it there on time. (From there it's up to the inscrutable powers of shipping, an elemental force slightly less understood than gravity.)

You'll want to order by December 16 anyway, because that's the last day of some great holiday deals and bundles!

Beyond Monday, time is hazier. Any orders that Warehouse 23 receives by December 19, 11:59 p.m. (Central) will be shipped by Friday, December 20. There's no guarantee it'll get to its destination in time to find a home under your tree, but who knows? Christmas is a magical time of year when yadda yadda . . . Anyway, if need be, you can always print out pictures of your loot and put them in a festive envelope (maybe with a fun card), with an intent to keep the holidays going in the days after Christmas.

So, make sure to help yourselves to help the elves!
