Surprise! Christmas is already less than two weeks away. And if you’re planning on skipping a trip to the mall this year by exclusively shopping online, you’re going to want to take note of these important dates. Many stores are nearing their holiday shipping deadlines—or the time they guarantee online orders will be delivered before Christmas Eve. Christmas falls on a Sunday this year and some delivery services won’t deliver on Saturday, so most packages will need to be delivered by Friday, December 23rd. And if you’re planning on certain beauty products like nail polish or perfume (which are potentially flammable) you’ll need to order even sooner, since they have to be shipped by ground transportation. Here, some of our favorite store’s holiday deadlines for your convenience. Shipping your own packages? Scroll down for UPS, USPS, and Fed Ex deadlines, as well.
