From Amazon to Zappos, here is the 2008 list of holiday shipping deadlines for over 160 top retailers. For each, we assume that items ship out one day after ordered unless merchant guidelines specify otherwise. This year, Christmas is Thursday December 25, so we are targeting delivery by Wednesday December 24.



Some merchants have already published a list of holiday deadlines. Where that is the case, we've placed a check mark () next to the merchant's name; otherwise, the deadlines shown are our estimates. While we've taken great care to compile accurate information, we had to do a fair amount of interpreting. Whenever unsure, we chose to err on the side of caution (these are deadlines after all). Nevertheless, there are always exceptions, so please confirm the anticipated delivery date for important purchases directly--you usually can during checkout. If you have any doubts, call or email the store before ordering.



We'll keep monitoring these stores throughout the season and update the information with published holiday deadlines as they become available.

Almost all of the merchants listed note that customers in remote areas, outside the 48 contiguous states, shipping to APOs and FPOs or purchasing oversized items might receive packages after the indicated timeframes. Therefore, please keep that in mind if it applies to your order.



Even if you have missed every other possible shipping deadline, there is still time to order an email gift certificate right up to the very last minute.
