Holiday Shipping Deadlines

By Kutty

We all know that Christmas shopping season is upon us and instead of braving the crowds, a lot of us are shopping online. Well the folks over at Dealnews put together a chart to help us plan around the shipping deadlines. For most vendors, they have standard and overnight shipping deadlines, however, a few have deadlines for their free shipping offers. As a precaution, you should definitely pad your deliveries with a day or so just in case something weird happens.
