Shipping Address Accuracy

Incorrectly entered addresses may unnecessarily delay your order. Please enter your ship to address information in the appropriate boxes and double-check for typos and other errors. Here are some shipping address tips:

P.O. Box Addresses

If a post office box address was entered in a format our system does not recognize, the package may be shipped through a carrier that cannot deliver to a post office box. To ensure that your order is routed through the proper carrier, please enter the box number as "PO BOX" followed by the number. If you're a private mailbox holder (use a local commercial mail receiving agency such as The UPS Store or similar services), do not use the word "Box" for your mailbox number. Instead, use the pound sign (#) or the abbreviation of "PMB" (Private Mail Box). This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P.O. Box, and that orders can ship to you via means other than the U.S. Postal Service.

APO or FPO Addresses

When entering an APO or FPO address, follow these steps:

  • City field: Enter "APO" or "FPO."
  • State field: Enter the two-letter code for the region where the recipient is stationed. Typically, but not always, the code is "AE" for recipients stationed in Europe, Canada, Africa, or the Middle East; "AA" for recipients stationed in the Americas; and "AP" for recipients stationed in Asia or the Pacific.
  • Country field: Always select "United States" from the drop-down menu regardless of where the recipient is stationed.

All shipments to APO/FPO addresses are sent via U.S. Priority Mail. We estimate 5 to 10 business days for delivery once the order has been shipped; however, some destinations may take up to 21 days. Sorry, we have no control over these shipping time frames..

Guam and U.S. Protectorates

When entering an address for Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands (U.S.), Guam, American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, or Federated States of Micronesia please follow these steps:

  • Country field: Select the correct place name from the drop-down menu. If the correct place is not listed, choose "United States."
  • Zip Code field: Always double check for the correct zip code.
Commercial Mail Receiving Agency (CMRA) Addresses

If you are shipping to a private mailbox holder (using a local commercial mail receiving agency), it is important you DO NOT use the word "Box" for your mailbox number. Instead, use # or PMB. This will ensure that your address is not mistaken to be a P.O. Box.

What are Christmas Crackers?

In 1847, almost by accident, Tom Smith invented the cracker. it was a simple idea which became an integral part of British celebration and tradition which still continues today, 150 years on. In its simplest form, a cracker is a small cardboard tube covered in a brightly colored twist of paper. When the cracker is pulled by two people, each holding one end of the twisted paper covered tube, the friction creates a small explosive 'pop'. This 'pop' is produced by a narrow strip of chemically impregnated paper. The cracker tears apart and out of the cardboard tube tumbles a bright paper hat, a small gift, a balloon and a motto or joke. It is a running joke that all the jokes and mottos in crackers are unfunny and unmemorable. Similarly, in most standard commercial products, the "gift" is equally awful, although wealthier individuals—notably, the royal family—may use custom crackers with more expensive rewards.

In addition to Christmas Crackers, "Crackers" are used as decorative party favors to celebrate a variety of other special occasions and festive events. The pulling of crackers and donning of the party hats creates a relaxed, festive atmosphere certain to get any party function off the ground. Crackers provide a colorful and exciting start to any celebration, and also present each guest with a gift by which to remember the days events. At Christmas, crackers make great tree ornaments, stocking stuffers, and welcoming gifts for visiting friends and relatives. They can also be used as invitations, promotional gifts, an advertising medium, shower and wedding favors, and individualized gifts for special occasions such as Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.

This is the remarkable story of the Cracker - an unique insight into one of Britain's most enduring traditions which continues to bring pleasure to all ages and generations, from children to grandparents.
