The holidays are upon us and if you want to avoid any last-minute, frenzied trips to the mall, the time to shop is now. To help you spend as little as possible on shipping fees, we've collected cut-off dates for Christmas delivery at some of today's most popular retailers. Just remember to pad your order by a few days to ensure your packages don't get tangled by winter storms or other unforeseen delays.
Please note: Some retailers have yet to post details on their holiday deadlines. We'll update our list as new deadlines become available. All times listed below are ET.
