Dear Royal Coffee Customer,
As the busy holiday season approaches, we want to help you prepare for successful shipments. During the holiday season, carriers always experience higher than normal volume, and driver and dock staffing shortages tend to accumulate. We have seen recent delays due to weather, and we anticipate weather and staffing issues to continue as the season progresses. Keep in mind that carriers do not prioritize shipments once they are already in holiday delay.
Ship before the holidays so you can enjoy your time during them! We suggest planning ahead as far as possible.
December Holiday Schedule:
- Customers in 4-5 day transit lanes, we recommend ordering by December 11th for delivery before the Christmas / New Year holiday.
- Customers in 2-3 day transit lanes, we recommend ordering by the 15th for delivery before the Christmas / New Year holiday.
- We’re closing at 1 PM on 12/24.
- For all pickups on half days (12/24 and 12/31), warehouse hours are 7:30am – 11am.
Our best advice: Get your order in early to make sure you have coffee for the holidays!
(510) 652-4256 or email us at info@royalcoffee.com
