A newish site called CouponSherpa has put together a list of holiday shipping deadlines for dozens of retailers, from Amazon to Walmart.
The deadline for a package sent standard shipping to arrive in time for Christmas is Dec. 16-17 for most retailers. Some are as early as Dec. 2 or as late as Dec. 23 (though I really don’t trust that).
If you miss the standard shipping window, you’ll pay up the nose for express and overnight shipping. What’s the sense in using a coupon or looking for discounts when you’ll end up paying that much in shipping charges? Procrastination is expensive!
A few retailer deadlines for standard shipping:
Amazon – Dec. 17
Apple – Dec. 18
CameraWorld – Dec. 18 at 10 a.m.
Crate & Barrel – Dec. 22
Dell – Dec. 16
GameStop – Dec. 21
Gap – Dec. 15
Land’s End – Dec. 18
Macys – Dec. 21
Sears – Dec. 17
Walmart – Dec. 20
