If you are planning on purchasing last minute Christmas gifts online you might want to reconsider. According to a study done by Kurt Salmon the shipping arrangements are having many problems this year that are leaving costumers waiting longer than expected for purchases. The retailers that are having these problems are mainly those who are offering free shipping. Because the shipping is free they choose much cheaper ways to ship products. Although this may be saving them money, this cheaper methods are not the most effective, leaving many costumers unsatisfied. It took nearly 7 days, that is an average of 20% longer to ship these purchases put to customer than it did last year. So if you haven't already purchased your gifts online and you plan to, I would get on that asap, or your family may be receiving there gifts in 2016.
