Holiday Shipping
Since Tastefully Simple has moved to 3rd party fullfillment center, orders in the tri-state (Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania) are typically received 2 days from time shipped.
Starting on Tuesday, December 3rd, you can see how many days it is taking to ship orders on my TS website and calculate your shipping time from there.
Good news is you have more time to do that holiday shopping.
