If I miss the deadline, does that mean my package will not arrive on time?
It depends. This estimate is on the more conservative side. Our free shipping can take 2-8 business days depending on where it's headed, size, weight, etc.
We recommend going though the checkout process and entering your address to get a better day estimation on the Shipping page. We also offer several options for paid expedited shipping.
Please note that the estimation is in business days, not total days!
Please allow an extra day for fulfillment, as the estimation is for ship time only. We pack same day Monday to Friday for orders before Noon CST, but high volume may impact packing times. Order ahead whenever possible.
Should I wait until Black Friday to start purchasing my holiday gifts?
No. Holiday sales are starting on November 13, 2023 at Arden Cove this year! Black Friday Deals items are limited-quantity items with no rainchecks. When they are sold out, they may be sold out through Black Friday. To ensure you get our Black Friday Deals check out our Black Friday Deals page as they may be updated throughout the season.

Shipping FAQ
I have an international address. When will my package arrive?
We offer several options for International deliveries. Just go through our checkout process and you can see a day estimate on the shipping options.
If you are an international order missing your package, please note that First Class International Mail does not guarantee tracking once it leaves the US. This is because it will transfer to the local postal service so it is up to them to provide tracking. For example customers in Canada should enter their tracking to Canada Post's website, and UK customers should use the Royal Mail website.
If you would like continuous tracking you should select DHL, FedEx, or UPS as your shipping option.
Please note that we cannot guarantee a delivery time. When shipping internationally, there are too many factors outside of our control, such as customs at the border, to accurately predict when a package might be delivered.
My package says it's delivered but I do not have it.
We always recommend delivering to an address where you will be in person to accept, as there has been cases of stolen packages from front doors.
First, we recommend double checking your front door/porch/lobby throughly. Sometimes a mail person may place the package in a corner, under a door mat, or behind a bush when no one is home.
Next, I would recommend placing a call to your local post office or carrier to make sure it is not just on the way or placed behind the desk for pickup. Sometimes packages are marked "delivered" preemptively when the package is close but still on the way. If this is the case, it may be delivered soon. Please allow another 24 hrs for the carrier to deliver the next day.
If the package is still missing afterwards, please contact us at support@ArdenCove.com and we will be happy to assist you!
