They have the typical issues when anything is done by the calendar year so their work is by design compressed heavily into one period. I recommend ordering in October for the following year. No later than early November.

I would expect that if ordered reasonably early. Those who wait until December though may face a different situation.

I ordered our 2019 decal online in August, one week before coming back into the US. I received the confirmation in 15 minutes along with the DTOPS number, which is all you need to come back. You don't need the actual decal. We also used the ROAM app for the first time. We had a video chat with an officer and were cleared to come back over the phone.

Has the single crossing option always been available or is that something new?
I just dont recall seeing it online when order in prior yrs.

Could be just for border crossing.

What else is the decal for other than border crossing???

They treat land (border) entries different to sea (vessel) entries.

Borders are generally land based. If a water entry was treated as a border then the US has a border with pretty much every country in the world!
