The crunch is on and generally speaking if you are still trying to do your Christmas shopping online, it's too late, at least if you want the packages to arrive before Thursday. I've spoken with UPS and FedEx freight to confirm that unless you pay for next day air and order early this morning, chances are you will not get the package before Christmas morning. This becomes an even bigger concern if you ordered something larger, which would need to be shipped via freight line. As an example I ordered a set of 4x4 tires for my brother for Christmas and UPS and FedEx freight will not pick up or deliver from the 24th to the 26th.
Don't let this bad news get you down, after all it is the thought that counts. So if you don't have time to get out and brave the elements, or you just have to get something online, go ahead and do it anyway. Simply giving a card on Christmas with a note that the present is in the mail can mean just as much. I've found this especially true in past years because items could only be purchased online, because all the brick 'n mortar stores were sold out.
Merry Christmas and remember to start shopping online earlier next year, just to make sure you get your presents out on time.
