Write this Amazon Christmas shipping deadline on your calendar
Dec. 22 is the last day you can order on Amazon to ensure your gifts arrive by Christmas. Although Amazon touts two-day shipping, you shouldn’t take that for granted. In this chaotic holiday season, shipping delays are far from rare.
This is especially important as we inch ever closer to Christmas. It’s the worst time to procrastinate — even if you’re an Amazon Prime member. Although you may have some wiggle room, same-day shipping isn’t guaranteed.
So if you order on Dec. 23 or Dec. 24, you’d better hope that Lady Luck is on your side.
Depending on where you live, you might not even get two-day shipping. Over the past year, many Amazon Prime customers have complained about delayed shipping times.
Bottom line: Order now for the highest chance of getting your order on time. If you don’t act now, you’ll have some splainin’ to do on Christmas. Save yourself from embarrassment this holiday season and grab your gifts sooner rather than later.
