What are your production lead times, and when must we order for Halloween and Christmas?
Critical manufacturing deadlines for peak holiday decor seasons. Avoid stockouts with clear cutoff schedules for Halloween (June 15) and Christmas (August 1).
Because Halloween and Christmas represent over 70% of total annual consumer demand, factory capacity books up months in advance. Adhering to our seasonal production calendar ensures timely delivery at standard ocean freight rates.
Normal Production Turnaround
Off-peak production runs (January through May) take 10 to 14 business days from deposit to warehouse dispatch.
Halloween Production Cutoff: **June 15**
Orders placed by June 15 depart by ocean freight in mid-July, arriving at US/Canadian retail warehouses by August 15-20, perfectly timed for early-bird shoppers.
Christmas Production Cutoff: **August 1**
Orders placed by August 1 depart by ocean freight in early September, arriving at destination docks by mid-October for full Q4 holiday merchandising.
In-Stock Express Dispatch
For orders placed after seasonal cutoffs, choose from our 446+ pre-produced in-stock safety inventory styles for immediate 48-hour air courier dispatch.
