I agree I won't ship from the 10th on this year until possible febuary. 2 reasons
1 I am gettig married on te 12th and 16th ( it a double wedding event )
and due to the holiday shipping volume it could be dangerous for the animal between delays and they just ( tossing the package on the porch and never ringing the bell) poor critter could freeze to death while in the house waiting with a door open. I had packages that require signing for left at the door andI was sitting in the kicten waiting (which was close enough to be answer the door in a flash. lucky I only was getting heat tape.
