Thunderbird Atlatl Elves Ready for Holiday Orders!

Leave a comment

It is a busy time of year at the Thunderbird Atlatl shop. We are ready for your atlatl and dart orders. Gift certificates are also available.
In the next couple of weeks, we cannot handle custom orders.

Shop cat, Molly, is ready to help with gift certificates. Molly & our dog, Tina, worked hard on atlatl orders. Tina is no longer with us but Molly carries on the work.

The majority of our orders are shipped Ground Advantage via the post office. Due to holiday shipping price increases and the oversize charge, there is additional shipping for other services. While not guaranteed, the post office says orders going out by December 17 should arrive by Christmas. Here are the holiday mailing deadlines for USPS/UPS/Fed Ex:
Note that these deadlines are guidelines; weather, inventory issues, congestion may delay arrival of packages.
Here are some of the shipping deadlines for those looking to receive packages by Dec. 24.
2025 holiday gifts shipping deadline:
USPS: Ground and First-Class by Dec. 17, Priority Mail by Dec. 18, Priority Mail Express by Dec. 20. Shipping might take longer for Alaska and Hawaii addresses. UPS: 3-Day Select by Dec. 19, 2nd Day by Dec. 22, Next Day by Dec. 23.
FedEx: Ground and Home Delivery shipments by Dec. 17, 4-day by Dec. 18, 3-day by Dec. 19, 2-day by Dec. 22, 1-day by Dec. 23; Overnight or Express shipping deadline is Dec. 23, Same-Day still possible on Dec. 24, depending on zip code.

Valentina (Tina) is no longer with us but she was always ready to help out. We know she is with us in spirit. She and Molly made a great team. Molly is working hard to carry on the for both of them.
Molly will try to train her fellow felines (Nadia, Opal and Chester) to help out this season. She says our new canine helper, Reggie, does not have Tina’s skills. Molly is not expecting much help from Reggie this season.
