Sad Nuggie Shipping Is Faster This Holiday Season
Holiday shopping always brings longer wait times with most retailers, but Sad Nuggie is ahead of the game. Here’s how we keep things moving:
1. Optimized Canadian, USA, and International Shipping Routes
We’ve partnered with new carriers and streamlined our fulfillment process so your order reaches you sooner — even during peak holiday volume. Faster processing times mean Sad Nuggies get from our Adoption Centre to your doorstep quickly and reliably.
2. Lower Shipping Rates for All Customers
This year, we introduced new reduced shipping rates across Canada, the USA, and overseas destinations. That means lower costs at checkout without sacrificing delivery speed. Our customers save more while getting their holiday gifts delivered faster.
3. Same-Day Processing on Most Orders
Most orders placed before our cutoff time (3pm EST during the weekday) are processed same-day, giving your shipment a head start during the busiest season of the year.

Frequently Asked Holiday Shipping Questions
Does Sad Nuggie charge extra holiday fees?
No. We keep shipping rates as low as possible — even during peak season.
Can I track my Sad Nuggie shipment?
Absolutely! Every package comes with tracking so you can follow your Nuggie’s journey from our Adoption Centre to your home.
Do I need to pay Tariffs?
Yes. We used to cover these for our American customers but we can no longer do so. You can expect a 10-40% tariff hit on your order total before shipping. To offset this for our American customers, we brought back free shipping and you can take advantage of our Winter holiday sale which make the Nuggies up to 50% cheaper.
UK and EU will need to still pay your respective governments VAT. This ranges by country.
