How Long Does a Handmade Crochet Order Take? From Stitch to Doorstep

Short answer: most US orders arrive about 2–4 weeks after you order. Making takes 7–10 business days, then delivery takes 4–8 business days in the United States.

The timeline

  1. You order. We do not mass-produce or keep a warehouse of finished stock.
  2. We make it (7–10 business days). A maker crochets or stitches your piece by hand.
  3. We check and pack it. Each piece is shaped, inspected and wrapped by hand.
  4. It ships to you. 4–8 business days in the US, 10–20 business days internationally, with a tracking number by email.

Why handmade takes longer than a store order

A single crochet flower pot is hundreds of stitches: the pot, the face, every petal and leaf. Because we make each piece after it is ordered, you get a fresh one, and we never have to guess what to stock.

Shipping cost

Shipping is free on every order within the US. International orders ship for a flat $12.95.

Planning a gift

  • Order at least 4–5 weeks before the date you need it.
  • Business days exclude weekends and public holidays, and carrier delays or customs can add a few days.
  • You can change or cancel within 24 hours of ordering. After that your piece is already being made.

Tracking and problems

You get a tracking number by email when the order ships. If tracking has not updated for 10 business days (US), email support@yarnmochi.com and we check with the carrier. More answers are in our FAQ and Shipping Policy.
