Geartrade Blog Your guide to holiday shipping with Geartrade

To the avid outdoors enthusiast, Geartrade during the holidays is like a direct peek into a merry elves’ workshop full of skis, boots, goggles, coats, snowshoes, and joy. It’s a perfect time to sell gear you haven’t been using, and stock up on things you’d love to use. The one word of caution this year is to keep shipping times in mind—whether you’re buying or selling. The postal service is always more overloaded during the holidays, and in 2020 the bottleneck may be worse. So if you’re buying, especially as a gift (or a gift to self), buffer your timeline and try purchasing a couple weeks ahead of time, at least. And if you’re selling, you technically have five days to ship according to Geartrade rules, but it’s all the better if you can hustle a little faster and drop your items in the mail sooner.
