Can you believe there are only a couple of precious days left before most free holiday shipping deadlines are over? If you want to make sure your gift gets there in time, avoid these online stores, which Dealnews has identified as problematic.
Some types of stores have more risk when it comes to timely delivery than others, the deal-finding site says. For example, a handful have a tendency to cancel orders, which could leave you scrambling at the last minute for a replacement: The site cited Shoebuy, Newegg, Reebok, Kate Spade, and Best Buy among those risky retailers.
Others have a track record of extremely late deliveries: Best Buy, Meritline, Deep Discount, JCPenney, and Kohls.
Also consult previously-mentioned FreeShipping.org's holiday shipping deadlines for 2011 for deadlines at each store.
