Time for our yearly reminder that holiday orders need to be made soon to allow for our usual 4 to 6 week lead time. In particular Hanukkah is early this year, starting December 6. That is six weeks from yesterday! International orders can be the most severely affected due to the extra shipping time, and domestic orders will often be slower than usual to deliver as well. As we get closer to the dates we also get more and more busy in the packing room, so planning ahead is your best bet for making sure your loved one gets the goods in time. The online store is standing by and ready to take your order.

Just a quick bump of this thread to point out some shipping math:

Today is 6 weeks from the Friday, December 18. If a box isn't shipped before then, it is unlikely to arrive before Christmas. As things get busy, the turnaround times skew closer to the upper end of the 4-6 week range. This means we are now entering the time where Christmas arrivals are less certain (and start to become impossible). If you want to give a kit as a gift, please order soon.
