Valerie's Iced Birch Trees - Advance Order

Advance order date is 11/22.  What are the chances of being able to decorate with these for this Christmas?  Probably nil.

If they are shipped on the 11/22 you should get it by the first of Dec. in plenty of time for Christmas. And you can use them as winter decor. The are not strictly for Christmas 

 

I ordered her blue velvet pumpkins on advance order for 10/5. They were shipped on 10/5 and received on 10/8. 

 

if you want them I would take a chance.

@FranandZoe , I agree and will not order any of those items.  People will be lucky if those items arrive early enough to decorate and enjoy them IMO.

 

OT, I ordered a pair of Earth shoes on 10/8.  When I check on the order status, it states delivery date estimate is 10/28.  Nothing mentions "advance order".  Tried to cancel item, but no luck.  Very frustrating and that will be my last order.

 

I have ordered jewelry from jtv and it is delivered in less than a week with NO shipping charges.

QVC did very well two weeks ago sending my two Valerie orders during the time frame they promised.  Delivery time was pretty good too, but around 11/22, delays may be inevitable.  

 

This tree caught my eye, so I ordered the 6 foot brown bark, planning to use it all winter.  

 

Here it is for others who haven't seen it.

Re: Valerie's Iced Birch Trees - Advance Order

@FranandZoe   I wouldn't risk it because once I put up my Christmas decor, I don't want to keep adding to it, and based on the shipment delays all over the place, you may not get it until a couple of weeks into December.

 

I really am tempted to get one myself, but am interested in ones from Target.  They have several (just choose Target as the vendor in the options), and they have a really nice 4' one for less then $50 with free shipping and says it can deliver by October 22.  Just search:

Lightshare 4' LED Birch Tree Decoration Light - Warm White Lights

 

There is also a 6' for $60 and an 8' for $134 if you need to fill a larger space.

Thanks everyone.

 

I placed an advance order for a Christmas/winter item a few months ago and they recently changed the ship date to two weeks later.  I still don't have it.
