Will my order be delivered by holiday? 

Did you know you can customize your magazine shipping for Christmas delivery? During a key period of the year, we offer the choice of starting your subscription right away (with a 4- to 6-week standard shipping time) or waiting until mid-December, so it arrives in time for gift giving. 

For holiday delivery, check the December Delivery box when adding a subscription to your cart. The box will appear just below the “Add to Cart” button only in the pre-holiday season. If you prefer the subscription to start sooner, leave the box unchecked. We’ll take care of the Christmas shipping deadlines so you don’t have to worry about it.

In-stock items shipped by Standard Delivery should arrive within 1 to 2 weeks of order date. Orders shipped to addresses in Alaska and Hawaii can take up to 8 weeks for delivery.
