Cyber Monday Deadline: How Late Can You Order and Still Get It by Christmas?
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) makes full-color 3D figurines from your photos using WJP (White Inkjet Process) — color injected into resin, not painted onto the surface. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and our Design Guarantee. Figurines start at $199, with free worldwide shipping over $149.
Here's the direct answer before anything else: if you want a custom figurine under the tree on December 25th, the cutoff is November 20 — a full week before Cyber Monday even happens. If you're reading this to decide whether Cyber Monday itself still works for Christmas, it doesn't. Here's why, and what to do instead.
How Late Can You Order a Custom Figurine and Still Get It by Christmas?
The latest safe order date for Christmas delivery is November 20, with your 3D proof approved within 48 hours of receiving it — that's the actual cutoff, set deliberately ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday rather than during them. Our full last-chance order guide covers this date in more detail, including what to do if you're ordering right up against it.
The reason the cutoff falls that early: order volume between November 1 and December 31 extends our standard 2–3 week turnaround to as much as 30 days. November 20 plus 30 days lands around December 20, leaving five days of cushion. Push the order date back by even a week or two, and that cushion disappears.
So Is Cyber Monday Too Late for Christmas?
Yes — Cyber Monday (November 30) falls ten days after the cutoff, so an order placed that day lands in early January under the same 30-day peak-season math, even with no delays at all. There's no way to rush it into December 25th from that date.
What If You're Ordering on Cyber Monday Anyway?
Cyber Monday still falls inside our five-tier savings window (November 3 – December 1), so you get the best price of the year on the order — you're just planning around a January delivery instead of a December one. Every order placed after November 20 includes a free printable gift announcement card: hand it to the recipient on Christmas morning, with the figurine itself following a few weeks later.
That makes Cyber Monday a genuinely good date to order for a birthday, anniversary, New Year's gift, or for yourself — anything that isn't pinned to December 25th specifically.
Why Order by November 20 Instead of Waiting?
Ordering by November 20 rather than waiting for Cyber Monday removes the guesswork — you lock in a spot in the production queue with real buffer left over for a revision round or a shipping delay, instead of starting the clock with almost none of that margin left.
Does the Christmas Cutoff Change by Product Type?
The November 20 cutoff applies across the standard lineup (Solo, Couples, Family, Pet Memorial, Portrait Bust); larger custom or Oversized pieces may need additional design time, which is confirmed by email once your order comes in. For a full breakdown of how long each stage actually takes, see How Long Does a Custom 3D Figurine Take to Make?

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the absolute latest I can order for Christmas?
November 20, with your 3D proof approved within 48 hours of receiving it. That's five days of buffer built in against our worst-case 30-day peak-season turnaround.
Does Cyber Monday get it to me faster than normal?
No — shipping and production speed don't change on Cyber Monday. The date only affects price, not turnaround; turnaround is governed entirely by when you order relative to peak-season volume.
I already missed November 20 — what happens now?
Your order still ships, just in January rather than December. Every order placed after November 20 includes a free printable gift announcement card so you have something to hand over on Christmas morning while the figurine follows.
Can I pay now and finalize the photo later?
You can place your order and submit your photo when it's ready — the 24-working-hour design clock starts once your photo is received, so submitting it sooner keeps you further ahead of the cutoff.
Does Cyber Monday come with the same savings as Black Friday?
Yes — both fall inside the same five-tier savings window, which runs automatically from November 3 through December 1, based on your order total.
