The last day you can buy gifts to arrive by Christmas

If you’re a big online shopper and that family gift exchange is important to you, the worst thing that can happen (barring a real catastrophe, of course) is your gifts not being shipped in time. Luckily, depending on where you live and what kind of shipping speed you choose on Amazon, you have a few more days to place your gift orders and make sure they’re beautifully wrapped and sitting under that tree.

Here’s a helpful chart from Amazon.ca for Canada-wide shipping. Also, if you’re hoping to ship outside of Canada, these are the last days to place orders for Standard International shipping, Expedited International and Priority International, respectively: December 12, 13 and 14. Happy gifting!
