While there are no real guarantees here, the three major US Parcel Carriers have released their recommended ship-by dates for gifts to be delivered in time for the Christmas Holiday.  This year, Christmas will fall on a Saturday.

Everywhere you turn you hear horror stories about supply chain snags slowing deliveries to both retail stores and residencies.  This along with a previously announced plan by the USPS to slow mail deliveries as part of a broad cost-cutting plan.  Retailers have been recommending for weeks now that consumers shop (and ship) early.
