We're getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year at Nikki’s Supply Store! To help you plan your festive gift shopping, here are our last order dates for shopping with us at nikkissupplystore.com and our Etsy store. 

We know that Christmas can be a busy time for our posties - especially amidst recent strike action - so we'd always recommend ordering in plenty of time in case there are any delivery delays. 

If you love the thrill of a bit of last minute gift shopping you can upgrade to Royal Mail Next Day Special delivery and DPD Next Day on our UK orders for a small extra charge. 

Happy Shopping!

🎄 Christmas and New Year Shopping 🎄

Nikki's Supply Store will remain open for shopping throughout the Christmas and New Year period, however we'll be taking a break from shipping orders to recharge and enjoy the festivities.  

Our shipping break will run from: 17th December 2022 - 3rd January 2023. Orders placed during this time will begin shipping from 4th January 2022 onwards.

What if My Order Doesn't Arrive Before Christmas?

Our last order dates are chosen in line with guidance from Royal Mail, but Christmas is a very busy time for shipping services and unfortunately we can't absolutely guarantee that your order will arrive before Christmas.

Here's some important things to remember and suggestions for what to do if your order is waylaid. These apply to shopping with any small business!

1. Remember that no-one's at fault, and the small business you ordered from and our hard-working posties did everything they did to get your order to you on time!
2. Chances are, the recipient won't mind a belated gift as you're giving them something nice to look forward to in 2023. You could give them an IOU if you'd like them to have something to unwrap, either sharing what the gift is, or leaving it as a surprise.
3. Hold off sending an email as it's likely that your order will arrive before the small business has re-opened in the new year. They may come back to a few grumpy messages, so why not wait until your gift has arrived and leave them a nice review instead?
4. Respect small business owners' boundaries! If you don't get a reply to your email or Etsy message, resist the urge to slide into their social media DMs.
5. ...and lastly: Give yourself a pat on the back for shopping small this Christmas, and being a lovely patient customer / human being!

🎄 Happy Holidays! 🎄
