dealnews' Holiday shipping guide (updated)

We here at dealnews have compiled a list of shipping deadlines for the holiday season for some of the most popular online stores. In general, the last day for standard shipping seems to be December 18, while overnight shipping is available up until December 21. (We're billing that day as "Last Minute Thursday.") However, a handful of merchants will allow for a Saturday delivery placed on Friday, December 22, albeit at an additional cost. Delivery times are quoted for in-stock items ready to ship and guaranteed for delivery by December 23; please check the individual sites for any exceptions. (We'll be tracking additional stores as more information becomes available.)
