Green Monday is here!!!

Monday, December 13th, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

Woo hoo! It’s Green Monday!

Wait… “Green Monday?”

No… I haven’t been getting “creative” with the Brain Toniq again. It’s an actual, legitimate online retail industry term for the Monday that falls within 10-16 days before Christmas (generally the second Monday in December).

Why is that important?

Effectively, it’s the last Monday that you can have something sent with “standard/ground” shipping and be sure to have it by Christmas. That’s actually pretty important, especially when you consider that we’re offering free shipping on orders over $139 for the contiguous US. Don’t worry if you’re not up to spending that much; we’ve got other discounted shipping options starting at $1.95, as well.

Of course, if you’re a procrastinator, we’ve got you covered there, too. We do offer a “priority expedited” service for overnight delivery, if necessary.

But if you order today, you won’t need to worry about that. You’ll be able to take advantage of OWC’s great Holiday Specials and will get your packages in time to open them under the sincere tree in the living room while your kids eat candy out of special socks.

That’s the magic of Green Monday.

We’ve got about a week left before Christmas, which means it’s the final countdown for getting all your parcels together. OWC’s got a lot of great holiday specials that someone in your family is sure to love.

Fortunately, OWC is located just outside Chicago. Our location near the geographic center of the country (hence the moniker the “Midwest”) and proximity to a major shipping hub means that roughly 70% of USA ship to locations are actually only 2-3 days away by typical ground delivery options. Even the furthest points on the West and East Coasts served by ground typically only have five days of transit time.

That means that if you order today and have it shipped by Ground, you’ve still got a good buffer for getting it by the 24th. And if that order happens to be more than $150, the Ground shipping is free to the 48 contiguous United States.

Of course, if you like to cut it close, qualifying orders via 2nd Day Air placed as late as 8:30PM on next Tuesday, December 22nd and qualifying orders by Overnight Air placed as late as 10:30PM on next Wednesday, December 23rd, will still be delivered by Thursday, Christmas Eve.

And, especially for you professional procrastinators, you’ll want to check out our new Priority Processing shipment option. Order as late as 10:30PM Central Time and select our OWC Priority Processing shipment option for nearly guaranteed Same Day Ship Out! Check out our Shipping page for more details.

No matter what your shipping needs, OWC’s here to make your holiday gift giving a breeze.
