UPS

The major delivery companies let us know the date when we can mail Christmas gifts to loved ones in a timely fashion.

Thus, the sooner you buy your online gifts, if you choose to buy online this year, the more likely your present will arrive before Christmas Day.

Not only is the pressure on the retail stores, but now on the shipping companies.

Some delivery companies are beginning to send shipping delay notices. I hope aunt Edna gets her new bathrobe by Christmas morning.
