🎄 2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines: Don’t Leave Your Customers Hanging

The holidays are the busiest and most critical time of year for Ecom brands. The difference between a loyal customer and a one-time buyer often comes down to whether that last minute gift arrives on time.

To help brands plan ahead, as we do every year, Rush Order has published the 2025 Holiday Shipping Deadlines Calendar. This guide outlines the latest carrier cutoff dates for guaranteed Christmas delivery from our US, Canadian, European, and Asia-Pacific warehouses.

Why Holiday Shipping Deadlines Matter

• Delivery speed = customer satisfaction. Shoppers won’t tolerate gifts missing from under the Christmas tree.

• Each carrier has unique cutoffs. Knowing these differences ensures you pick the best carrier, service level, and cost to match your customers’ needs.

• International shipments are trickier. Cross border deliveries require even earlier deadlines, sometimes as early as late November.

Pro Tip

Don’t just plan for the carrier deadlines. Factor in your own warehouse processing time. To hit these dates, inventory must be on hand, orders must be picked and packed, and shipments must leave the warehouse on time.
