Holiday Guidelines for Merchant Orders

Wondering whether your order will arrive by December 24?

To determine when an item will arrive, add the item's availability to the transit time for the shipping method you're planning to use.  The availability of each item can be found on its product detail page. Transit times can be found on our Shipping policies page.  For example, an item that's available in 1-2 business days and shipped using standard shipping (3-5 business days) will arrive in 4-7 business days.  Business days are Monday through Friday.

Put simply, here's the basic equation you can use to determine your delivery date:

(Availability) + (Shipping Time) = Total Delivery Time

As a general guideline, we recommend placing your order by December 13 if you're requesting standard shipping and December 17 for expedited shipping.

Merchant Shipping

Amazon Merchant shipping rates, methods, and terms are set by individual merchants, not by Amazon.com. This information will appear on your order summary page when you are ready to make your purchase.

Before you order, you may find shipping information in our Help pages or via a link at the bottom of a product detail page. To check whether a particular merchant's shipping rates are found in our Help department, just click here, select the appropriate product category (e.g., Apparel), and then browse for the merchant's name. If you do not find the merchant you're looking for in Help, you can still find shipping information through that merchant's product detail pages. Just scroll to the bottom of the product details, and you will see a box that contains a link to the Shipping Information page and to other merchant Help pages.

Amazon Marketplace shipping rates are the same for all sellers, and can be found on the Marketplace Shipping Times & Rates page.
