Amazon holiday ordering cutoffs for last-minute shoppers

Ahhhh. My holiday gift-giving is all done -- we celebrate Hanukkah, which ended last week. So I have the pleasure of completely sidestepping the craziness that is brick-and-mortar shopping during the next ten days. If you're avoiding the crowds by shopping online, here's a handy list of Amazon's U. S. shipping deadlines so you can be sure your gifts will arrive on or before December 24:

• Today – last day to buy Gift Cards sent by mail (e-mail gift cards can be sent immediately at any time)
• Monday, December 17th – last day for Free Super Saver Shipping (on qualified orders over $25)
• Tuesday, December 18th – last day for Standard Shipping
• Wednesday, December 19th – Two-Day Shipping (Free with Amazon Prime, Last full day to order)
• Thursday, December 20th – Two-Day Shipping (Free with Amazon Prime, Order as late as 3pm PT, but varies by item)
• Friday, December 21st – One-Day Shipping ($3.99 per item with Amazon Prime, Last full day to order)
• Saturday, December 22nd – Two-Day Shipping ($3.99 per item with Amazon Prime; Order as late as 3pm PT, but varies by item)
