The online retailer promised that orders placed on that date will make it to the recipients by Christmas Eve. Super Saver Shipping kicks in for orders of $25 and over, though some restrictions apply.
For those that miss that target date, Amazon offers Two-Day Shipping as late as 8 p.m. PST on Dec. 21, One-Day Shipping until 4:30 p.m. PST on Dec. 22, Last-Minute Christmas Delivery for Amazon Prime members only on Dec. 23 and even Local Express Delivery in select cities on Dec. 24. Another option, of course, is email and print gift cards, which can be ordered and given out any time.
The shipping options are a big improvement over last year when Amazon only offered Dec. 24 delivery on items purchased through Dec. 17. Amazon Prime members could also only get free shipping on orders placed on Dec. 22.
