\"Globe-Phone-Order\"We are down to seven days<\/strong> left to receive deliveries in time for the big day and it is officially crunch time.\u00a0As we covered last month<\/a>, there\u2019s a lot of information to take into account when shopping for the holidays.<\/p>\n

Good news is, seven days left to receive deliveries means there\u2019s still six left to order!\u00a0There\u2019s still hope and we\u2019re certainly still here to help.\u00a0Our four big tips still ring true for stress-free online shopping; we just have to pay closer attention to the available shipping options. In case you missed them, here are our tips and the breakdown of options still available:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tip #1:\u00a0Aim for Tuesday, Dec. 23rd<\/sup> as your absolute last date for receipt. \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Wednesday, Dec. 24th<\/sup> IS a delivery day for most carriers so if for some reason your shipment is delayed; you have an extra day, just in case.<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Watch where your package is shipping from and that company\u2019s daily shipping deadlines.<\/strong>\u00a0 Why spend more on faster shipping if you don\u2019t have to? Check out our daily shipping deadlines<\/a> to make sure you order arrives on time without bankrupting Santa.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Watch the weather.<\/strong>\u00a0Winter is upon us and, that means winter storms are inevitable. A good storm can easily ground cargo planes or cause accidents for the trucks on the road. If there\u2019s a storm coming, select a faster method than you need, just in case. Cutting your time in half, if possible, will help make sure that if something does go wrong, you still walk away happy.<\/p>\n

Tip #4:\u00a0 Ship to yourself as often as possible.<\/strong>\u00a0Responsible merchants will be confirming credit card information to help prevent credit card fraud to their customers during the holiday season. Shipping to the same address the card-issuing bank has on file for you will ensure speedy processing and fewer unexpected delays.<\/p>\n
