How many times will Santa, aka delivery drivers visit your house prior to Christmas?

[kdonnel]

I figure UPS, FedEX, or Amazon will arrive at least 50 times before Christmas this year.

Welp I just spent a ton on TikTok shop for the kids' lists and they were almost all from different sellers so... A LOT.

 

[Disneylover99]

Probably once a day till Xmas, so about 20 more times.

 

[soccerdad72]

No clue - a lot. Not about to count, though - not sure I want to know.

 

[Meriweather]

Often......4-5 times a week, but a lot of that is already over

about the same-the last of my stuff is supposed to be here by Sunday, don't know about dh's orders.

 

[soccerdad72]

Almost as if on cue, UPS just dropped off a package

 

[RangerPooh]

UPS and Amazon have been arriving daily. I anticipate more visits over the next two weeks.

 

[imbelle]

My dogs could probably tell you. They hates them, they hates them forever.

Yeah 50...maybe more honestly sounds about right for us. If there's a day between Thanksgiving and Xmas eve that we don't receive packages it's very rare. I do 90% of our Xmas shopping online.

 

[bettertheangel]

I'm only anticipating one more package since I bought everything else I planned to already, but I may give in and order more.

 

[disneychrista]

Zero to do with Christmas. But I just ordered from Amazon and am waiting on Disney Gift Cards I ordered.

3 times or less is my prediction. We tend to shop local. THAT may be the challenge as local merchants don't stock the inventory they used to.

Let's just say; many times!!

We already have 7 to 10 inches of snow on the ground so shopping online is ideal!

I like the idea of shopping local because I know if I don’t, the day will come where online is my only option, but online is so much more convenient.

In 20-30 minutes I can shop the equivalent of an entire mall and several strip shopping centers, saving hours and hours.

I'll take advantage of delivery because I'd rather not drive into town as often as I do during the warmer seasons. I really won't see in increase for me based on the holiday because I really don't have anyone that I buy gifts for other than at the shelter and that gets delivered there. They'll be an increase for me just based on convenience, but it won't really be holiday related.

Probably none for Christmas things but at least once a week for normal every day stuff. Hubby and I don't exchange gifts any more. I got my son's family a Disney gift card because they are taking their 4 year old daughter to Bibbity in Jan. and I'm paying for that. I will probably order a few things for the grand daughter but have them sent to their house. I'll either give my son cash or gift cards. We don't exchange gifts with anyone else in the family any more. The advantage of getting old, you really don't need anything that you probably haven't already bought for yourself so others don't have to worry about getting you anything.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

I think we've had 12 over the course of the last week, so playing the averages... A LOT

 

[mjkacmom]

About 6 times a day, we get a lot of same day delivery from Amazon here.

 

[NYCgrrl]

There are almost 500 residential dwellings in my building.
USPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon et al, each make at least one daily delivery to the building in a normal month.
Most residents using car services this month are already directing the drivers to meet them on the street instead of the driveway for fear access will be blocked.

On the bright side, I never worry about anyone stealing my packages as staff has a good storage and tracking system in place.
