Target’s same-day delivery is incredibly convenient year-round, but especially so when you’re too busy with holiday preparation to leave your home and brave traffic. “Same-day delivery orders placed by 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve can be delivered to guests’ doorsteps — or sent to anyone on their shopping list,” Target says. “Members of Target Circle 360, the retailer’s paid membership program, enjoy unlimited same-day delivery on orders over $35. For nonmembers, same-day delivery is available for $9.99 per order.”
