2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines — Plan Ahead for On-Time Delivery

Posted on by Trini

Keep your holiday season joyful by ordering early! From now through the new year, shipping companies stop guaranteeing delivery times, factories extend production times, and products run low on inventory. The more you can plan ahead, the better. 

Below are the safe 2025 holiday order deadlines. These will get your orders to you before Christmas or New Year’s with standard ground shipping (included in your quote). 

If you’d like your order sooner, expedited shipping and production are available for an additional fee and can shave one to two weeks off production and delivery time.

⚠️ We are not responsible for carrier-related shipping delays.

🎁  Holiday Deadlines (Christmas & New Year’s 2025)

  • Screen Printing & Paper Products: Order by December 2, 2025
    This includes vinyl transfers, sublimation, DTF, and digital printing.
  • Embroidery: Order by November 25, 2025

Server Upgrades and Website Downtime

Posted on by Trini

Hello Kwindie website customers! 

We have outgrown our current website host and are moving to a larger and better server system.

Thank you all for helping Kwindie reach this point, outgrowing a server is a significant milestone that could not have been achieved without each and every one of you! 

This process has already begun and should conclude within 1-2 weeks. During this time your site may be down for up to 24 hours (though most will be closer to 1-3 hours). Most downtime will be overnight so as to cause minimal disruptions to normal operations. 

If you have any concerns or would like to schedule the best time for your site to be down, please get in touch as soon as possible. 

Once the server migration is complete you will experience vastly better website performance, and any errors experienced within the past couple of months should be eliminated.
