When You Need Lollipops In A Hurry

Many of our domestic packages ship via USPS First Class service. It’s inexpensive and, in our experience, pretty quick and reliable. But there are times when waiting a few days isn’t an appealing option – maybe you’re doing some last minute gift-buying, for instance.

We’ve always accommodated customers who request a shipping service upgrade, but of course it takes time & communication back and forth about the available options – and when time is of the essence, that might not be so appealing for you either!

So it’s welcome news that Etsy is finally, finally, enabling sellers to provide more than one shipping speed if they wish to. Technically, this is a beta test for Etsy - we're among a small number of sellers who have signed up to test these features before they're made available to all sellers.

At the bottom of most of our listings, you’ll now see a selection for overnight shipping. We’ll be using USPS Express service, which takes one business day and offers delivery on Saturdays.

To make it as easy on customers as possible, we’ve set the same rate for this service for all items, regardless of how many you purchase (that’s what the text, “if shipped with another item, $0.00” means). So whether you’re buying one Mixed Bag or two dozen Hazelnut Coffee lollipops, the expedited price is the same.

If your order contains few items and/or you’re shipping to a destination that’s close to Seattle, this price will probably be higher than it needs to be – at your request we’ll refund the excess postage.
