Holiday Shipping Tips from Silly Farm: Make This Season Stress-Free!

The holiday season is magical, but let’s be real—shipping during this time can be less than magical. At Silly Farm, we want to help you avoid the holiday shipping blues, so let’s talk about choosing the best shipping options for your precious face paint supplies.

The Perks of Reliable Shipping

We know it’s tempting to go for the cheapest shipping option, especially with all the holiday expenses adding up. However, during the busiest shipping season of the year, it’s worth investing in a reliable service like UPS. Why?

  • Speedy Deliveries: While all carriers work hard during the holidays, options like UPS generally offer faster delivery times. This is especially helpful if you’re in a crunch to get your supplies for that last-minute gig or holiday event.
  • Peace of Mind with Insurance: Lost or damaged packages are rare but can happen, especially during the holiday rush. Choosing a service with solid insurance options ensures you’re covered. UPS provides automatic insurance for most shipments, which can save you both stress and money in case of an issue.

USPS: Great, But Plan Ahead

We’re not here to bash USPS—they’re an affordable and accessible choice! However, if you go this route, keep a few things in mind:

  • Longer Delivery Times: With higher package volumes, delays can happen.
  • Limited Insurance: Make sure to check the coverage and consider adding extra protection if needed.

Our Holiday Shipping Recommendations

For smooth sailing (or shipping!) this season, here’s what we suggest:

  1. Order Early: The earlier you order, the less you’ll need to worry about delays.
  2. Consider Upgrading: If time is tight or you want extra peace of mind, opt for a premium shipping option like UPS.
  3. Track Your Packages: Stay in the loop with tracking updates so you can plan accordingly.

At Silly Farm, we’re here to ensure you have everything you need to bring holiday joy to your clients. Whether you’re painting winter wonderlands or festive characters, we’ve got your back. Make smart shipping choices, and let’s paint this season merry and bright!
