We have been carrying the limited edition Beco baby carrier in the soft and fuzzy Pony Express print, but that will end on Jan 1. It is also noteworthy for being the only Beco color available with free shipping. But again, on the evening of the 1st they’ll be gone!

The official word from the US Postal Service is that Express mail sent by Dec 22nd will indeed arrive anywhere in the US by Christmas. As usual, we do our part by having all items in stock, ready for same-day shipment, and leave the rest to USPS, who we cannot control but you see for yourself that they are promising Christmas Eve delivery in the link above.

Priority mail is our most popular option because it is so fast and affordable. A typical 2-pound order arrives in 2-3 days and costs $6 within the US. We ship most orders same-day because everything you see in the store is in-stock and ready to go.

According the USPS the cutoff date for Dec 24th delivery anywhere in the US is Dec 20 for priority mail and Dec 22nd for Express mail. We can guarantee that orders placed by 4PM will be shipped same-day but we cannot guarantee the USPS’s own performance.

So, our recommendation is trusting priority mail for now, but soon we will strongly encourage use of USPS Express mail or UPS 2-day for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

This is still a good time to shop and not worry about getting your packages in time!

Sakura Bloom blogged a photo of a sweet little girl carrying her doll in a sling and a trick to hiding the sling tail for a tighter look, especially useful for men. Like this photo of a dad and his toddler.

And remember, their $1200 sling giveaway is running until the new year!

I have some exciting news- effective 12/1, Sakura Bloom lowered their prices across the board due to lower production costs! The permanent discount is about 25% off, so $60-100 less, depending on which sling it is.
