Usually, the holiday season means walking alongside cars to avoid slow-walking tourists. This year stores are much more empty but online shopping still maintains a lot safer. This year, the aggravation of missorted packages and shipping delays seems to be even more angering than crowded streets. It’s even more important than ever to plan ahead.
The hours to take advantage of free shipping is ticking away quickly. Lucky, most New York stores will offer a messenger service for free or a small fee. Store prices tend to range from $15 to $30. Many times, retailers will wave the fee for expensive purchases. It never hurts to ask.
