The Consumerist advises Beat These Deadlines To Ship Your Gifts On Time.

Here are the cutoff dates to mail or ship items for Christmas arrival...

Amazon — Free Super Saver Shipping deadline is Friday, Dec 17. Local Express Delivery for Amazon Prime users will be available up to Christmas Eve in some cities.

USPS — The deadline for First Class mail is Monday, Dec 20. More expensive options let you procrastinate until Dec. 22.

UPS — Ship by Dec. 21 to use 3-Day Select. You have until Dec. 23 to use UPS Next Day Air.

FedEx — FedEx offers same-day shipping Christmas Day, but the deadline for overnighting packages is Dec. 23.

DHL — The U.S. deadline is Monday, Dec 20.

Bottom Line

For the last minute shopper there are online gift cards. My sister in Winnipeg sent me an email with my Gift card number for Amazon. So much easier then trying to ship items from Canada to the US.
