While the holiday shopping season is unequivocally exciting for many merchants because of the outsized revenue they realize in a short period of time, the spike in orders can strain both merchants and their logistics partners. Therefore, it’s imperative that brands plan their holiday fulfillment and shipping strategy ahead of the holidays to avoid costly supply chain disruptions and shipping delays.
To help e-commerce merchants map out their holiday shipping strategy ahead of the peak season, we’ve put together a live guide highlighting the “last day to ship” for major fulfillment/delivery providers for delivery before December 25, 2022.
Here are the last days to ship for on-time delivery by Christmas for USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Ohi’s instant delivery platform. These are for U.S. to U.S. shipping only.
Note: We’ve also included 2021’s cutoffs for reference, as it will be interesting to see how the cutoffs change this year.
