The holiday shopping season is quickly coming to a crescendo. Online shopping has been complicated by the fact that Christmas starts on Sunday. Those waiting until the very last minute will have to use a messenger or pay for Saturday delivery. The hours to take advantage of shipping is ticking away quickly.
As a special note, Uber Rush has been a life-changer. We usually pay between $6 and $12 to have packages picked up and hand delivered throughout much of the city. Many stores and boutiques though out the city also offer messenger services. Prices tend to range from $15 to $30. Some stores will wave the fee for expensive purchases.
