Good Reasons to Shop Online Early for the Holidays in 2023

We know it's annoying to start talking about the holidays in October.
But we think you'll want the extra time to make sure your holiday purchases arrive in time ... especially if you're ordering internationally.

This year we have 6 good reasons to shop early:

Good News:

1. Early Holiday Promotions.We are offering a transparent, consistent, season-long promotion, so you don't have to worry about catching the best deal on any particular weekend. The best deal of the year at Walnut has already begun:

   *Cannot be combined with other discounts. Select gift items includes all in-stock products except: the Drawer Pull collection, Leather Crafts Book, Parts & Accessories, Double 6 Wood Dominoes, One-of-a-Kind Foraged Wood Cribbage Boards, the UpCycle Cage, Spartan Carton and Bicycle Beer Carrier Combo Deal.
2. Free Gift Wrap. We're wrapping your gifts for free with "basic" gift wrap. Let us know it's a gift by checking the box, "This is a gift" (or just tell us in an email or note -- we're a small shop and we read all order notes!). If we know it's a gift, we'll wrap it nicely for your friends and family. Branded gift wrap is also available as an upgrade.
3. Free / Flat Rate Shipping Offers on Orders Over $65:
   - FREE USA (2-7 days)
   - Flat Rate $12 Canada (1-4 weeks) + NEW! DDP Paid $18.95 Flat Rate
   - Flat Rate $15 Europe and Australia/New Zealand (2-8 weeks)
   - Flat Rate $17 Rest of World (2-8 weeks)
   These shipping rates are the most economical, but take the longest to deliver, which is why we recommend ordering early.
4. Peace of Mind with Free Shipping Insurance.We insure every package valued over $55 for loss or damage. If it hasn't arrived by the insurance-mandated waiting period or arrives damaged, we will file an insurance claim and send you a refund or a replacement at no cost.
5. Express Options for Reliability & Speed.FedEx in the US, and DHL Express internationally are our fastest, most reliable international shipping service - and with our bulk shipping discounts, pretty economical, too.
6. International Customs Calculator.Our prices are exclusive of VAT, GST, or other customs and import duties. If you're worried about how much the customs fees are going to cost, you can now estimate ahead of time with Duty Calculator. If you're in the EU, you can also pay customs duties in advance on our Etsy marketplace store.
