Shipping deadlines: order your gifts soon in time for Christmas


This year, as always, I buy most of my gifts online. I love not having to go out into the crowds and I am nearly always happy with what I order. Plus it is fun when the packages arrive to open them and find that what I ordered will be a hit. I am almost done but I still have a few things to get so I went online this morning to research whether or not it is getting to close to Christmas to have delivery on time.

I found out that if you still have gifts to buy and you plan on shopping via the Internet, you don't have much longer to meet the Christmas deadline.

Two-thirds of retailers are giving you until Dec. 18 to order gifts and assure that they get delivered by Christmas.

Dec. 17 is also free shipping day. At least a couple hundred retailers, including Toys R Us and Crate & Barrel will offer free shipping that day and guarantee delivery by Dec. 24.


So you still have a few more days!
