If you haven't placed a back-to-school order yet, the window is closing but it hasn't shut — here's what's still realistic to get delivered in time, and what to skip if you're this close to the deadline.
What's Still Achievable
Backpacks and basic school supplies from our earlier back-to-school piece are still generally in stock this late, but anything requiring a complex custom imprint is a bigger gamble at this point — stick to simpler, faster-turnaround decoration methods if you're ordering in the next week or two.
Prioritize the Deadline-Critical Items
If the order is for a specific event — a school welcome day, a donation deadline — confirm the shipping timeline before finalizing anything else. A great item that arrives late is worse than a simpler one that arrives on time.
