A carefully chosen present failing to turn up on time for Christmas can be hugely disappointing - not to mention expensive if you have to head out at the last minute to find a replacement.

So here's a round up of the Christmas delivery deadlines set by the big-name retailers.

Amazon

If you want to benefit from Amazon's free delivery service, you must order any presents by midnight on December 19 to be sure of receiving them by Christmas.

First Class delivery Christmas orders can be made up to midnight on December 21, while any last-minute shoppers prepared to pay for "Evening Delivery" can place an order up to 9am on December 24.

Currys

The electrical retailer claims that its standard delivery service will get small gifts such as a camera or a kettle to you before Christmas as long as you place your order at least five working days before December 25.

So to be safe, you need to place your order by December 17, or shell out for one of the retailer's paid delivery options.

Debenhams
The department store guarantees that goods ordered by midnight on December 20 will arrive in time for Christmas with its standard delivery service.

Argos
If you need a large item to arrive from Argos in time for Christmas, you'll need to get it ordered by December 20.

For smaller items, however, you can receive your order on December 23 by paying for same day delivery starting at £4.95 before midday on the same date.

And don't forget about the turkey!
Forgetting to order the turkey in time for Christmas could ruin the whole day, never mind the meal. So make sure you don't miss the supermarket deadlines, many of which are almost here.
