Shipping: When will my order ship?

How will I know when my order will ship?

We know that when you order online, you want to make sure that you've planned enough time for your order to arrive to you on time, and we're happy to help. Personalized gifts take a little longer to process and we have tried to indicate on every page of our website what the Availability is. 

Selecting a faster service does not speed up the processing time, only the delivery time.

The item code is located next to the price, but above the 'BUY' button on the web page.  For the following item codes, please take into consideration the required processing time as shown below.

  • Items beginning with the code GC usually require 2-3 days for processing before the order ships.
  • Items beginning with the code CC usually requires 7 business days for processing before the order ships.
  • Items beginning with KA usually requires 7 business days for process before the order ships.

What does ... The "Availability: Usually ships in" ... really mean?

Availability is really the time it takes to process your order, before it ships.  The list below covers most of our availability/processing times.

  • Usually ships the same business day

We do our very best to process your order and ship these items out on the day you order them. Our cut-off time for same day shipping is 3 PM Eastern Time. Items ordered on Saturday or Sunday are usually shipped the following Monday (or Tuesday, when the Monday is a UPS / Postal Holiday).

  • Usually ships the next business day

These items do require one day's processing time before they are shipped. If you order on a Friday, then please expect your order to be shipped the following Monday (or Tuesday, when the Monday is a UPS / Postal Holiday).

  • Usually ships in 2-3 business days

These items do require two to three days processing time before they are shipped. Once the engraving and personalization is completed they are shipped out via the service requested. 

  • Usually ships in 5-7 business days

These items do require about 1 week  processing time before they are shipped. Once the engraving and personalization is completed they are shipped out via the service requested.  If you order on a Tuesday, then expect they will ship the next week on Wednesday or Thursday. Items that require 5-7 business days can only be shipped via Ground or 2 Day Air Service, Next Day Air service is not available.

The item I want to order say it has an availability not listed here, what does that mean?

Most likely, we are temporarily out of stock on this item, and the time listed is the time we expect it to take to be readily available again.

What is a Business Day?

Business days are Monday through Friday. 

How do you count Business Days?

In trying to calculate when your order will arrive, the first business day is the day after you order. For instance, if ordering on a Monday, then the first business day would be Tuesday.  If you ordered on a Friday, then the first business day would be Monday.

Really want to know what people are thinking?   Here are just a few of the comments we have received about our quality and service.
Any time I need a unique gift. I come to A Perfect Wallet. They always deliver a great product, on time, and with excellent communication. Ed Shapiro
I was unable to find this billfold with a money clip anywhere else and am thrilled with the quality of the merchandise. 
I am writing on behalf of an order my significant other placed with you some time ago. He purchased corporate gifts from your company for his bosses. Not only was he satisfied with the purchases, but I was astonished that the items were packed in cornstarch peanuts. I am an environmental advocate and was so pleased to read the info sheet on your green initiatives. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate these efforts to lessen your impact on the environment. Please continue on these endeavors and I wish you the best of luck!
Very nice variety for both men and women. Quick delivery complete with personalization
