## Consolidation is the real saving
A Black Friday haul arrives as a dozen packages over two weeks. We hold them **free for up to 14 days** on request and ship them together as a single customs entry, one processing fee instead of a dozen. [How it works](/blog/package-consolidation-save-on-shipping).
## Watch the Christmas cut-off
If the haul is a Christmas gift, work backwards from our [Christmas shipping deadlines](/blog/christmas-shipping-deadlines-bahamas). Black Friday orders that sit waiting for a Cyber Monday purchase can miss the cut-off.
## FAQ
### Will the warehouse be busy?
Yes, November is our peak. Packages are logged in your portal as they arrive so you always know what has landed.
### Should I ship each package as it arrives?
Only if you need it urgently. Consolidating is almost always cheaper.
### Can I still order after Black Friday?
Cyber Monday follows immediately, and clearance runs into December.
