We are in southern California, near Los Angeles. Fed Ex Ground takes 3 working days to get to, say, Nebraska City 68410. To answer the processing time for this item, if you get your order in by 12 noon, we generally ship the same day!
Thank you for your question.

Yes, if you follow the instructions for placement carefully. We do recommend you use the sealant - all instructions for applying it should be followed so that you can open it up again later. Also it should be placed up & down, vertically, not laying down horizontally. By doing this you take advantage of the strength of the cylinder in this position. So it's easiest to use a 'post hole' digger or something similar. If any kind of enclosure or vault is used, we recommend making sure it doesn't hold water from the weather - allow it to drain through. Seal off the area above it well (see our blog entries for examples). Some use a boulder, others a cemented area with a plaque. Don't put it in a garden that will get watered all the time! Other hints and instructions are included with the sealant. As with everything, use common sense. It IS stainless steel, and will not rust unless you have it sitting in water all that time. One good thing about burial is that it keeps it at a stable temperature during that time. Do not place it above ground so that it is subject to changes in temperature. Place it about 18" below the surface.

The time capsules are in stock, however we do not do the engraving ourselves. Please allow one week for either simple or laser engraving for the Family Time Capsules or Nonprofit Time Capsules. We are located in Southern California so it takes about 4 working days for ground shipment. Thank you for your question! Due to the urgency of the question, we contacted you directly when you asked it.

Accepted Answer

That is because our company is on a planned leave status right now. Please check back with our store on September 1 for the ability to order this item.

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course. We recommend using a post hole digger because it should be positioned up and down (vertically) and not on its side. Each unit comes with sealant and instructions on burial if you want to do that. The area above where time capsules are placed should be sealed off nicely such as with a plaque installation (see https://www.futurepkg.com/wamu-hollywood-time-capsule) or even with a boulder (see https://www.futurepkg.com/eli-lilly-time-capsule). Never wrap any time capsule in plastic, always use common sense.
