If you've already decorated your home, then you'll soon start crossing items off your holiday shopping list any day now. It's always such a joy to shop for people around the holidays. Most people, however, will complete a lot of their shopping online this year. They'll attempt to, at least. But here’s the catch: the sooner you place your order, the more likely it is that your gifts will arrive on time. Shipping can take longer as the holidays get closer, and if you wait too long, you might end up missing out on certain items or paying extra for expedited shipping.

NJ Residents Worried Holiday Packages Won't Arrive On Time

For whatever reason, people are worried this year more than ever that packages they order for gifts this holiday season won't make it in time for Christmas. A recent report found that more than 50% of Americans are nervous about package arrival times this year. Shipping times matter.

According to the study, people aren't opposed to cutting out certain stores due to them not offering a 2-day shipping option. If something takes more than 2 days to be delivered, people aren't happy about it. Furthermore, quality doesn't seem to matter when it comes to gifts as long as it arrives on-time. One in four have bought something they weren't exactly thrilled by simply because it had faster shipping over other things they would have preferred to order.

Don't be one of those people that waits until the last minute to order holiday gifts. You'll likely find yourself having to distribute them on New Year's if you're not careful.
