Buy.com,
Café Press,
Famous Footwear and
The Swiss Colony TODAY.
Be aware that these deadlines apply to in-stock items shipping to locations within the 48 contiguous United States. Items shipping from the manufacturer themselves (rather than the online store) will generally take longer to deliver and will follow different deadlines.
Buy.com Christmas Delivery
The deadline to order books/movies/videos/games and get oversized delivery on appliances/TVs for free in time for Christmas has already passed: this happened on Sunday, December 13.
If you order today, however (December 15, by 12:00pm EST), you can get free shipping on electronics, computer hardware/software, home & outdoors and toys or ground shipping for sports & bags and get your order still delivered in time for Christmas. You can order anything sitewide at Buy.com through tomorrow, December 16, and still use standard shipping and get your order delivered in time for Christmas.
Both budget and standard shipping are not available for Alaskan or Hawaiian orders.
Generally, you will receive free standard shipping on book/music/video/dvd orders totaling $25 or more and sports/games orders totaling $75 or more. If you see a green truck icon next to an item, that item will ship free of charge with no minimum purchase to be met.
Café Press Shipping Costs
Café Press is another online store that you can still get Christmas delivery on your orders from with standard shipping. Café Press lets you print your own (or someone else's uploaded work) design printed on t-shirts, coffee mugs, calendars, bumper stickers, messenger bags, caps, etc.. In fact, this is through a special upgrade offered free of charge today.
("Just choose Standard Shipping, and at no extra cost we'll automatically upgrade you to 2-Day Shipping (when needed) to ensure delivery on or by December 24, 2009. Delivery address must be within the United States and cannot be a PO Box. Promotion ends on December 16, 2009 at 11:59 PM (EST).
