Pre-ordering an item means that we do not have the item(s) physically in stock yet, but they will be coming in from our manufacturer soon. Once they arrive to us from our manufacturer at a later date, we will then ship out to our customers.
We offer pre-orders to give our customers the chance to “have dibs” on the item(s) before they arrive to us. The items we pick for pre-orders are items that are customer favorites, best sellers, or items that we see being extremely popular for this holiday season. A lot of the items we pick for pre-order will sell out and will not be available to purchase at a later date, so pre-orders are a great way to guarantee you receive that item.
Pre-ordered items state Pre-Order on the item page.
We recommend providing a current email address or a phone number on your order. This will allow us to send an email or call if we see a huge delay with your pre-order. If you do not choose to be emailed, we will be unable to contact you via email about your order.
We ship pre-orders in the order that they were purchased. For example, if you purchase a pre-order today and another customer orders the same pre-order item the next day, your order is shipped before the other customer's.
A large majority of our pre-orders ship out ahead of schedule or on time. We base this estimated ship date on the date our manufacturer gives us. When ordering a pre-order item, please be aware that the estimated arrival dates are subject to change at any time, and it is out of our control. Things like production delays, employee shortages in manufacturer warehouses, and shipping delays are all possible delays pre-orders can face. Please rest assured there is no way for customers to be forgotten or missed regarding their pre-order. We are one of the largest Christmas stores in South Florida and we do everything in our power to get these items in as quickly as possible. If we are facing delays with an item, more than likely all other stores are also facing a delay with that same item.
If you order multiple pre-order items or in-stock items, we will ship the in-stock items and hold the remainder of the order until the items arrive. Items will be shipped as they arrive. Should you want to hold your order until ALL the items are in stock, you must specify this after checkout by emailing santa@thechristmaspalace.com and include your order # in the subject line. Order #’s begin with EC20 and are followed by 4 to 5 digits.
Yes, when purchasing a pre-order, you are charged in full at the time of purchase. For security reasons we do not keep credit card information on file.
Not to worry. This just means that we have sold out of the pre-order. Rest assured we have received your order and you are still in line to receive your pre-order on the original estimated date.

If an item you ordered is out of stock, it will be back-ordered automatically, in some cases the order will be refunded back to you. Retired Items, close-out items, and items not to be restocked during holiday season will not be back-ordered and your order will be voided along with a refund.
