Merry Christmas!

We're about to shut down our operation here for the Christmas holiday, and we'd like to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas.

If You Want Any Chance Of Getting Your Order By Christmas ...

... you'll want to order with at least 2-Day, but possibly Overnight, delivery. Keep in mind that UPS is making no more guarantees, even on expedited shipping options.

Expedited Orders

Click walking sticks to go back to Brazos Walking Sticks' home page.

At this point if you place an order and you want to have it by Christmas, your best option is to choose 2-Day or Overnight expedited shipping. Keep in mind, however, that UPS is not guaranteeing delivery for any shipping method, even overnight deliveries.

For our part, on Monday we'll make every effort to ship every order that comes in over the weekend, and we'll take extra care to make sure that orders with expedited shipping are handled immediately.

No More Guarantees, But You May Still Have Time To Order For Christmas

Click walking sticks to go back to Brazos Walking Sticks' home page.

As of today, Friday, Dec. 18, there are no longer UPS guarantees for delivery by Christmas. In most cases, however, placing your order with 2-Day or Overnight delivery will still get you your order by Dec. 24, but it is no longer guaranteed (please note that UPS does not deliver on the 25th and only delivers Overnight and 2-Day packages on the 24th).

Since we ship out of Texas, many people in Texas and adjacent states may still want to choose standard UPS ground delivery and those customers may get their order in-hand by the 22nd or 23rd, but at this point forward nothing is guaranteed with UPS.

Christmas Order Delivery Time Update

Click walking sticks to go back to Brazos Walking Sticks' home page.

As of Thursday, Dec. 17, customers in Alaska, Hawaii, California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, west Idaho, west Montana, north Michigan, New York, and all states northeast of New York, may want to choose 2-Day Expedited shipping in order to ensure that their order is received by Christmas Eve (UPS does not deliver on Christmas Day, and UPS is only delivering 2-Day and Overnight packages on Christmas Eve). Customers in the aforementioned areas will not be guaranteed to receive their orders by Dec. 24 if they choose standard UPS ground or 3-Day shipping.

Please note that as of Dec. 11, UPS no longer guarantees delivery before Christmas for standard ground shipping or for 3-Day Expedited shipping. The standard UPS guarantees will still be in effect, however, for 2-Day Air and Next Day Air options until Dec. 21. On Dec. 21, UPS will no longer guarantee delivery time for any shipping method, though, in most cases, packages should arrive by Christmas Eve if the proper shipment method (e.g. 2-Day Air) has been chosen.

Currently, most orders (even accessorized orders) will be shipping out within one or two business days as we work to fulfill all of our holiday orders in time for Christmas.

Can I Expedite My Shipping?

Yes. As of right now, Dec. 15, UPS is still guaranteeing 2-Day and Overnight expedited shipping. Of course, that guarantees in how many business days you'll receive your stick once it has shipped from our facility. In most cases sticks are shipped from our facility within two to five business days, but we are making every effort now to get orders out within two business days -- or sooner.

So keep the orders coming! :-)

Christmas Order Delivery Time

Click walking sticks to go back to Brazos Walking Sticks' home page.

We're making every effort to ship Christmas orders in a timely manner. In many cases we're able to ship orders out the day we receive them, or the next business day. To ensure prompt delivery of an item after it has shipped from our facility, customers may want to choose 3-Day Expedited, 2-Day Air, or Next Day Air shipping.

Please note that as of Dec. 11, UPS no longer guarantees delivery before Christmas for standard ground shipping or for 3-Day Expedited shipping. The standard UPS guarantees will still be in effect, however, for 2-Day Air and Next Day Air options until Dec. 21. On Dec. 21, UPS will no longer guarantee delivery time for any shipping method, though, in most cases, packages should arrive by Christmas Eve if the proper shipment method (e.g. 2-Day Air) has been chosen.

For questions about shipping or other Christmas orders, please email us at info@brazossticks.com or give us a call.

Customizations

Here at Brazos Walking Sticks we love to do custom work. If you've got an idea for a stick or cane, shoot us an email -- or give us a call -- with your idea and we'll reply promptly with a quote for your custom work.

We've had people ask us to do everything from restoring their antique cane, to shipping us raw wood and having us make a stick out of it.

With any customization, laser engraving also makes an attractive and welcome addition. We can engrave names, phrases, Bible verses, and even logos.

We'd love to hear from you.

Gary's Twisted Oak Cane

Just received my cane and wanted you to know how pleased I was. Unfortunately for me I had ordered two canes from a competitor and when you put them side by side the quality of the Brazos cane is far superior and for about the same price.

"Bravo to Brazos Walking Sticks!"

Bravo to Brazos Walking Sticks! I have a collection of canes from Brazos and use a different cane every day.

I unfortunately had a Spinal Fusion and needed a cane, but soon I learned how fun it was to have a growing collection. Eric, the manager, was always available, both on the phone and on the Internet.

I get all kinds of admiration whenever I meet people on the street. People want to know where I got such pretty and interesting canes and walking sticks.

Every cane ordered was of profound perfection. The woods used were of the highest quality. If you find beauty in wood as I do, and need a cane or walking stick, I highly recommend Brazos. I now own over 21 of these works of art and I'm not done yet!

Give Eric a call and start developing an admiration as I did for the wonderful qualities and beauty of wood, both domestic and exotic. Brazos Walking Sticks will get you what you need, when you need it and you will have fun doing it as well!

New Look On Our Website

We've updated the look of our website. Please check it out and let us know what you think!

"When I found your website, everything changed."

Here are a few nice words from a woman who found our website:

I just wanted to let you know that I have tried searching for a replacement for my aluminum cane three times in the past 4 months. Each time I have stopped within a day because the search was so depressing ... it made me feel old and reminded me of my disability (which is fairly new to me). When I found your website, everything changed. I am really enjoying perusing your gorgeous products and am extremely grateful I found it.
-- Melissa

Melissa's got an interesting website herself. Check her site out if you need any baby carriers or cloth diapers.

Terry's Canes: Another Shot

Terry's Canes

Thanks to Terry for sending us this photo of her collection of Brazos Walking Canes in all of their glory. Terry has bought so many canes from us the past few months that she decided to buy a display stand so she can show them off!

Thanks, Terry!

Yet Another Happy Customer

I received my 55-inch Cedar Walking Stick a couple days ago. I have arthritis in both knees with my left knee being worse. I like to go walking at a local park using a cane but was considering trying a walking stick. I saw somebody using one and asked him how he liked it. He said it really helped because be had trouble with his right hip and the stick really worked better for him than a cane. To make a long story short I went walking with my new stick the next day after I received it. Once I got a rhythm going it worked fine.

Before this recent flare-up of arthritis, I was walking 4 to 5 miles about 5 to 6 times a week. I only walked about 1 and 1/2 miles in about 30 minutes for the past couple days, but I'm sure I will be up to my previous distances in no time with the help of my new walking stick. I would recommend Brazos Walking Sticks to anyone who asks.
