YEAR end at the tea shop

We are going to take a bit of a season-end break this year. After close of day 7pm Wednesday 12/30 we will be closed for a full week for inventory and a rest. We will also be reorganizing & restocking throughout January so we can fill your orders more efficiently, making window shopping Quicker and Easier.

Shop will re-open 10am-4pm on Friday 1/8/2021 and Saturday 1/9/2021. Other days and times are yet to be determined. We are looking for feedback from our community. What days and times work best for you if we can re-open 1 or 2 days during the week? [email info@traveling-tea.com, let us know when you order next, or message me via FB or Instagram.]

Online pickup orders placed during this time will be fulfilled in order received. You should get a “Ready” response via email or text when your order is ready for pickup. Shipping orders will go out Priority Mail starting on 1/8/2021.

Delivery days/times will also be revised for 2021. We have heard from many of you how important this service has become for you and we are happy to continue providing it in whatever way we are able to.

Thank you for your continued understanding and support as we all navigate the New Year.

shopping/delivery update II

Effective 11/28/20, Thanks to increase in deliveries for holiday and winter tea needs, I have been able to tweak the delivery fees and reduce the minimum orders slightly – and you now get Free Shipping for orders over $50.

Deliveries Happen on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Shop open for curbside pickup and shopping on Wed 4-7pm, and 10am-4pm on Fridays and Saturdays through the end of the year. [open for phone orders only Tues & Thurs 11am-1pm] Christmas Tree Walk, Fri 12/4, HOURS 10am-8pm

We will add Sunday deliveries in December (12/6, 12/13, 12/20) – and maybe some extra Curbside OPEN hours, if it seems needed.

USPS says 12/18 is the last day for mailing via Priority Mail to get your packages in time for Christmas – I say….. Order NO Later than 12/10/2020 if you want tea shipped in time for the holidays.
