Online Holiday Season Shopping Reminder [Get this deal]
from deals site Hotdealsclub.com
A lot of people are doing shopping online this season, and this is a reminder of when holidays are:
- Hanukkah begins on Saturday, December 16
- Christmas Day is Monday, December 25
- Kwanzaa begins on Tuesday, December 26
Note that Christmas falls on a Monday this year, meaning most Christmas gifts ordered online need to be delivered by Friday, December 22 (3 days prior to then).
Sounds like a long time away, but after factoring order and shipping lead times, it really means most online Christmas gift shopping should be done in the next 2 weeks to be delivered in time for the Christmas holiday weekend.
For gift shopping, you should try to order by:
- Custom built computers (such as Dell.com and Lenovo.com orders) should be ordered this week to have a chance of delivery by Christmas and Kwanzaa.
It may be too late for custom-built computers to be delivered by Hanukkah.
- for Hanukkah gifts, most in-stock items should be ordered by Friday, December 8 using ground shipping, and by Wednesday, December 13 using 2-day shipping.
- for Christmas and Kwanzaa gifts, most in-stock items should be ordered by Friday, December 15 using ground shipping, and by Wednesday, December 20 using 2-day shipping.
If ordering from a website without a same-day shipping guarantee, try to order at least 2 more days prior.
