Blue Buddha Boutique is now closed for the holidays. We will re-open for business as usual on Thursday, January 5 at 10 am CT.

During our closing, we will continue to process and ship all orders that were placed by 5pm CT Dec 22, but please expect a bit of a delay in our order processing time, due to half the studio being off on any given day. No new orders will processed until we reopen on Jan 5—this includes express orders. We also will not be answering the phones during this time.

A few of our elves may pop up on Facebook from time to time, and we’ll also be in the studio counting inventory in early January. But mostly, it will be very quiet around here while we take some time off for a much-needed break with family and friends, and prepare to count and weigh every single jump ring, tool, book, finding, and other piece of inventory in the entire studio. Whew!

We wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday season! We’ll see you in 2012!

Holiday supply orders are pouring in; we’re prepping for and participating in some of our favorite local holiday shows...

Yep, the holiday season is in full swing.

As such, we have changed our order processing time for regular orders to 4-7 days.  As always, we strive to beat the times we post and often do, but we know projects being made this time of year are often time-sensitive and we want you to be able to place your order with plenty of time to create those holiday gifts.

CUTOFF TO RECEIVE YOUR ORDER BY 12/23 = 5pm CT Dec 15

We also understand that when your order leaves our studio, it is just the beginning of its journey.  Many customers choose Express Shipping & Handling for their order at this time of year to make sure they get it in time.  While all reasonably-sized express orders we receive are processed and shipped within 24 hours, not all orders arrive to their final destination overnight.   

As a courtesy to our customers, we would also like to offer overnight shipping through UPS at this time of year.  If you are interested in shipping your order via UPS, please contact us by sending an email to shipping@bluebuddhaboutique.com as soon as you have placed your order.  Please give your name and your order number in the email and we will get back to you as soon as we can with a quote.

We are currently processing orders in 2-4 days (instead of our usual 1-2 days). The holiday rush has started! It is usually busiest for us from now until early December, so please keep this in mind when you’re placing your order! The demand for our products keeps increasing, which is a good thing, and we’re trying as hard as we can to keep up.

We’d also like to introduce you to Jason, our newest Inventory Assistant. He joined the Blue Buddha team a few weeks ago and his hard work has already made a difference (one reason why we’ve managed to catch up with orders!). You can check out his bio, as well as all Blue Buddha staff, on theArtist page.
