Standard shipping deadlines have passed, but expedited options remain for last-minute gift shoppers. Here are your remaining options for getting 3D printed gifts under the tree by December 25.
Expedited Shipping Availability
Expedited shipping is available through December 20 for delivery to major Canadian cities by December 24. This service guarantees two to three business day transit from our Quebec facility. The expedited surcharge is a worthwhile investment when the alternative is a missed Christmas delivery.
In-Stock Items Only
At this stage, only in-stock ready-to-ship items guarantee expedited delivery. Custom and made-to-order products require production time that cannot be compressed. Browse our ready-to-ship collection for items with the immediate availability badge. These products are printed, inspected, and waiting for your order.
Gift Card Alternative
If the item you want is not in stock or your delivery address is outside expedited shipping range, a digital gift card solves the problem instantly. Delivered by email within minutes, the gift card lets the recipient choose and order their own collectibles after the holiday rush. Pair it with a handwritten card for a personal touch.
Local Pickup Option
Customers in the greater Quebec area can select local pickup at checkout to bypass shipping entirely. Orders placed by December 23 with local pickup selected are available for collection on December 24. Contact us to arrange a pickup time window.
Managing Expectations
If you are ordering now and shipping standard, delivery after Christmas is likely. Frame the gift accordingly — a note saying a special gift is on its way builds anticipation and allows the recipient to track its journey. The excitement of waiting can be part of the gift experience.
