Order deadlines for Christmas delivery vary by freight and non-freight items. Freight orders must be placed by noon CST December 15, with delivery up to 10 business days in rural or non-lower 48 states. Non-freight orders have different deadlines: Standard Shipping by December 15 (5-7 days), UPS 3 Day Select by December 19, Second Day by December 22, and Overnight by December 23. Extra fees apply for expedited shipping; allow extra time outside the lower 48 states.
The delivery timeframes depend on whether you are ordering freight or non-freight items.
