Do you have a last minute gift to buy online? To be sure you can slip it under the tree on Christmas Eve, place your order before this date (which may vary depending on the carrier).
Every year, it’s the same story. The month of December flies by and in the blink of an eye, it’s Christmas. To avoid the crowds in stores, some prefer to opt for online shopping. And as the fateful New Year’s Eve date approaches, we always realize that we are missing a gift for one of the family members. Do you need to give a last minute gift? You still have to order it in time to receive it on the right date, so you can slip it under the tree.
It must be said that at this time of year, carriers modify their delivery times to cope with demand. On average, they have three times more orders and packages to manage than usual. Very often, online businesses display a special banner “guaranteed delivery before Christmas if you order before *** “. Others do not take this precaution. It is therefore essential to know the delivery times of the different carriers to ensure that you have all your gifts under the tree on the morning of December 25.
