If you are still working on your holiday shopping or plan on knocking out everything a week before Christmas, we have compiled your go-to list of 50 shipping deadlines from major retailers as well as the top three shipping companies. (We will continue to update this list over the next week.)

Just an additional tip, over 1,000 retailers are participating in Free Shipping Day on Thursday, December 18th. Shipments will be guaranteed to arrive by Christmas Eve. You can see the full list here. Also, be aware that many retailers will launch free one or two day shipping promotions as we get closer to Christmas.
