The holidays are fast approaching — which means sleigh bells, wrapping paper, and one universal truth: Late Packages because shipping deadlines wait for no one. At Tactics 2 Toys, LLC, we’re all about fun, strategy, and delivering joy on time. Whether you’re grabbing the latest release board game for game night, a set of new dice for your next RPG campaign, or a collectible you’ve been hunting all year, we want it in your hands before Christmas morning.

So, grab a cocoa (or a whiskey), pull up your wish list, and let’s make sure your orders beat the rush.

🕒 Order Early – Even Santa Has a Schedule

The holiday season is the busiest shipping time of the year. Carriers get overloaded, snow happens, and even Rudolph gets stuck in traffic. The key? Order early.

• Standard / Ground Shipping: Order by December 17
• 3-Day / Express Saver: Order by December 19
• 2-Day Air or Priority Shipping: Order by December 20
• Overnight Shipping: Order by December 23

For guaranteed Christmas delivery, try to order 2–3 days before these deadlines.

📦 USPS, UPS & FedEx Shipping – What You Need to Know

✉️ USPS (Great for Smaller Toys & Collectibles)

• Ground Advantage: Ship by Dec 17
• Priority Mail: Ship by Dec 18
• Priority Mail Express: Ship by Dec 20

Bonus tip: Shipping to Alaska or Hawaii? Aim for Dec 16.

🚚 UPS (Best for Big Boxes and Bundles)

• Ground or 3-Day Select: Ship by Dec 19
• 2nd Day Air: Ship by Dec 20
• Next Day Air: Ship by Dec 23

UPS handles the heavy stuff — but don’t wait until Christmas Eve; even their trucks can’t bend time.

🚀 FedEx (When You’re Cutting It Close)

• Ground: Ship by Dec 19
• Express Saver (3-Day): Ship by Dec 19
• 2-Day Air: Ship by Dec 20
• Overnight: Ship by Dec 23

FedEx can save the day — but don’t make December 23 your yearly tradition!

🌎 International & Military Shipping

Sending toys or games to friends abroad or to service members? You’ll want to plan ahead — way ahead.

• USPS First-Class International: Ship by Dec 9
• Priority Mail International: Ship by Dec 11
• Priority Express International: Ship by Dec 16
