Online Stores You Must Steer Clear Of for Last Minute Deals on Christmas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Christmas is just a few days ahead. Have you chalked out your plans on how to deal with the Christmas meltdown? If you have not, then, you need to be careful. The urgency and excitement of online Christmas shopping might push you to rely on online stores that are infamous for late deliveries. Following online stores have offended shoppers with their late Christmas delivery for up to one or two weeks. Though these online stores would pay you refunds for late delivery, but what’s the joy of receiving and sending Christmas gifts and decoration after a week or two? To help you steer clear of the risks of late delivery on your last minute deals this Christmas, here are some tips to avoid late delivery of Christmas gifts this season.

Avoid Flash Christmas Sale Sites  

There are several flash sites like Lot 18 and Fab.com that offer attractive last minute deals and take orders, but also take longer time to process the orders. Orders for delivery of wines placed on Lot 18 are packaged and shipped by the respective manufacturing wineries; which is why, the shop takes longer time for delivery.

Stores That Offer Customized Gifts

There are online merchants that are specialized for customized gifts such as Pottery Barn and RedEnvelope. These online are sure popular for offering last minute deals on personalized gifts and engraving your romantic message – but will your loved ones be able to unwrap those personalized gifts on Christmas? Because of the time consuming customization process, often these online stores take more than usual time to process and ship orders. Many shoppers have lamented on their decision of placing an order of customized gifts from these online merchants. Moreover, there are also chances of errors in processing and misspelled messages or names.

Avert last minute deals from stores that may cancel orders    

Some online stores may ruin your holiday gift giving plans and fun by cancelling orders. Some online stores do not feature 100% shipping guarantees and may cancel orders if the deals end or the products are out of stock. Sure, these stores would pay you refunds after cancellation of orders, but you would have hardly be left with time for finding substitutes at other shops.

Hence, make sure you read shipping policies and guarantees in order to assure you of timely shipping of online stores despite the rush of Christmas shopping with last minute deals.
