Amazon has revealed the last dates to place orders to ensure you get it before Christmas day (Image: GETTY)Forgot to buy a gift for a certain family member – or need to quickly add something else beneath the tree? Well, if you’re planning to from warehouse-aficionado Amazon, you haven’t got much time left at all. The retail giant has revealed its last-chance dates for Christmas shopping. And the deadlines start from today.While some customers will be able to order from Amazon UK on Christmas Eve when coughing-up for same-day delivery, those who pay for an annual Prime membership can order as late as 21: 15 via Prime Now to receive deliveries by midnight on Christmas Eve – although it’s worth noting that option isn’t available nationwide, so you’ll want to double-check before you leave a gift to the eleventh hour.Below you will find those all-important cut-offs for deliveries.Today, Sunday December 22nd • Final Date To Order With Standard Delivery. If you order before the end of the day, Amazon expects your parcel to arrive by December 24, 2019. Just enough time to wrap and sort the bow.Monday December 23rd • Final Date To Order With One-Day Delivery. If you’re a Prime subscriber – the annual subscription that Amazon offers to shoppers which includes free unlimited one-day delivery as well as access to its Netflix rival Prime Video, unlimited online photo storage, music streaming and more – Amazon will deliver your parcel by December 24th. If you’re not a Prime member, it’s still possible to get your package through your letterbox for this date, but you’re going to have to pay for the privilege. To be more precise, you’ll need to pay £4.99 per delivery (or £2.99 to get it delivered to an Amazon Locker or Pickup Location) for the privilege.
