Holiday Deliveries and Support

During the holiday season, DistroKid experiences reduced staffing, particularly during the Thanksgiving work week, the work weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday, as well as New Year's day.

We try to answer your requests as fast as possible! Typically, we answer most requests within 24 hours, but during the holidays, it may be anywhere from 2-7 business days for us to follow up.

Many of our service partners also have reduced staffing during the holidays, which may impact release times.

Our service partners have kindly provided a general schedule of holiday delivery times, so that artists can plan their releases accordingly.

If you plan on releasing music between November 29, 2024 and January 3, 2025, please make note of the following delivery deadlines below.

To ensure that services receives all deliveries by 11:59 p.m. PST on the respective date, it's best to upload at least two weeks ahead of time. However, uploading 3-4 weeks prior to your release date will guarantee that your delivery date is met and your release goes live with no issues.

Music delivered after these deadlines may not be available on the desired release date.

We appreciate your patience, and we hope you have a warm, safe, and uplifting holiday season!
