Timing

We try to ship orders within three business days of receiving them. This applies to in-stock items. Framed items or items requiring personalization may take up to two weeks longer. If there is an extended delay, it will be noted on the product page.

We close for a week over Independence Day and Christmas. A notice will appear at the top of every page of the site in advance of this closure.

We ship most orders via USPS, so if the post office is closed, we won't be shipping orders that day.

If you need to receive your order by a certain date, such as to give as a gift or have for a trip, we recommend ordering at least two weeks in advance, especially if you are using USPS shipping. 

If you're looking for reliable, on-time deliveries, we strongly suggest upgrading to "UPS 3 Business Day Select Shipping."

Additional notes:

  • When fulfillment takes longer, such as around the Christmas holidays, we'll put up an announcement in the site and will list recommended shipping deadlines below.
  • If an item is out of stock, we will contact you.
  • If one of your items is an advance order, that will be noted on the product page along with an estimate of when it will ship. If that estimated date changes, the product page will be updated.

          Love this Scarf!!

          Wow, I love this beautiful GW scarf especially as it is in my favorite color. I wanted to a be history teacher when I graduated high school, but I had a guidance counselor discourage me about it saying there were already too many if you can believe that. Therefore, I just graduated with an English degree. This is a way for me to indulge my passion in history so thank you. I love the scarf has GW's autograph on it too and the "Victory or Death" quote. Great Quality too and fast shipping as always. I love the History List.
