Here are your Christmas shipping deadlines

There's a little more than two weeks left until Christmas and if you're still shopping, you have to think about shipping. Deadlines are approaching. 

The delivery times for the US Post Office, UPS, and FedEx are very similar, but there are little differences here and there if you want those packages under the tree by Christmas day.
