Holiday Shipping Deadlines for 2025: Don’t Miss Christmas Delivery

Holiday shipping moves fast — and late gear won’t help anyone. If you want your American-made Squatch Survival Gear under the tree by December 25th, these are the dates that matter.

Our BFCM20 discount is officially live through December 1st. (more info on discounts when you join the email list (scroll to the bottom)) That’s your best chance to save on American-made packs, chest rigs, and survival gear before shipping windows close.

And trust me: timing matters more than people think.


A Lesson Learned the Hard Way

On my second deployment, I made a mistake that stuck with me.
I was on a FOB in Iraq. Internet access wasn’t what it is today, and ordering anything online felt like trying to call home through a soda can and 300 miles of string.

But here’s the truth: I still waited too long.

I thought I had enough time to get Christmas presents shipped home.
I didn’t.

Everything arrived after Christmas — long after. Some gifts didn’t show up until New Year’s. It didn’t matter how much I cared or how hard I tried to make up for it.

The moment was gone.

So don’t repeat my rookie mistake.
If getting gear to your family on time matters — plan ahead and execute early.

Best Gifts That Ship Fast

These are the most popular holiday buys — especially with BFCM20 active:

Hit the deadlines. Save while you can. Don’t lose Christmas to procrastination.


Why These Dates Matter

Nothing ruins Christmas morning like a tracking screen that says:
“Delayed due to holiday volume.”

Squatch gear is handmade by Americans — not mass-produced overseas. Orders come from real people in a real shop, and holiday volume is real.
That’s why shopping early is the smartest move you can make.

Use the infographics, share them, save them — whatever keeps you ahead of the rush.

And while BFCM20 is live, it’s the best time of the year to pick up gear built by Americans, for people who give a damn
