Holiday Gift Direct-delivery – a Guide

Here are Heliopause HQ I am celebrating the holidays at home with my household due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, which has meant a lot of mailing presents. I know it is a great benefit to me when retailers offer gift wrapping and drop-shipping (delivering directly to the gift’s recipient) so I can save on time and postage when sending presents.

With that in mind I wanted to take a moment to explain how the Heliopause Webstore can do this for you! Because there still is time to order a gift online, have it wrapped up and mailed out and arrive before Christmas! You just need to place your order by 11:00 a.m. (PST) this Tuesday – December 15th. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1:

Go to the Heliopause Webstore and add the gift items to your cart. 

Step 2:

Add the item “Holiday Gift Wrap” to your cart. In the text field, list each item you want gift-wrapped, who each is “to” and who each is “from.” You only need to add “Gift Wrap” to your cart once. If you run out of room, just place the order and right after send me an email at goldeen@heliopauseweb.com with your order number and the relevant info.

Step 3:

At checkout, enter YOUR billing and contact information. Enter THE RECIPIENT’S shipping information. Unfortunately I cannot split orders across multiple addresses, but you can send presents to multiple locations simply by placing a separate order for each address. (I can personalize items to multiple people in a shared household.)

Step 4: (Optional, but recommended at Christmastime)

Choose USPS Priority as your shipping method. Most items will “fit” in the “If it fits, it ships!” option, but if you are buying a lot of books (for example) you will need to send it normal Priority Shipping. I recommend Priority at Christmastime because of the increased likelihood of delays. The most economical way to ship books is via Economy Shipping (Media Mail), but this can take up to two weeks.

Deadline for Christmas-delivery orders is Tuesday, December 15, at 11:00 a.m. PST!

My shop will be OPEN over the holidays, but orders placed after this time may not arrive before Christmas.

I hope everyone has a safe and comfy holiday, and I look forward to bringing you more art and books in 2021!
