What is the last day to ship before Christmas? Well, that depends, actually. Traditionally â that is, say, prior to 2008 â the last day to ship was around the second week of December. These days, it really depends on how much you are willing to spend. FedEx offers same-day shipping on Christmas Day. Yes, the FedEx SameDay department is open seven days a week, 365 days of the year. And they deliver âdoor to door within hours, depending on availabilityâ according to their website. Think something in the neighborhood of $48/pound for the SameDay City service plus any surcharges. Wow.
But seriously, what this means is that, if you have been super busy at work or you’re just a full-on procrastinator, you still have (expensive) options. Check their websites for all the particulars, but here’s how they actually lay out from now until Christmas for the major shippers and retailers:
