Shipping Calculator Tool
Zenfolio has also created a shipping calculator you can use (and share with your clients) that makes figuring out order deadlines and estimating package arrivals super simple. Calculate your order deadline using the tool below.*
Select your lab.
*All times are estimates based on production time and average shipping time. Due to the nature of shipping and production there may always be unexpected delays.
Integrated lab holiday order deadlines:
To help simplify your end of year sales, we've put together a list of order deadlines from our integrated lab partners. Planning ahead and observing the shipping deadlines will help you and your clients receive photos and gifts on time, reducing frustration (and rush shipping charges) for you both during the holiday season.
The list below indicates the earliest product order deadlines* according to products and shipping methods by lab; use the calculator tool to see estimated arrival dates in relation to a specific order date and integrated lab.
*When order approval is enabled, we recommend that photographers encourage clients to place orders prior to these dates so you will have time to review and approve their orders. For photographers who do not use order approval, these dates can be used for setting your client order deadlines.
** Lab available only to Zenfolio Classic members on selling plans.

Order and Shipping Best Practices
- Determine the date your package is needed and your preferred shipping method. Give yourself a little extra time to allow for unexpected shipping delays, especially if special wrapping or travel is needed around holidays, birthdays, or other special events.
- Get familiar with processing times for frequently ordered products; standard photo prints typically have the shortest turnaround of 2-3 business days, whereas framed prints, albums, and acrylic prints can range from 10-15 business days.
