The holiday season is in full swing, and though ‘tis the season to be merry and bright, shipping delays and supply chain woes have customers feeling more tension than jubilation about gift shopping. According to a survey conducted by customer communications platform Intercom, 77 percent of shoppers are anxious about buying gifts online this year.
Still, if you haven’t completed your holiday shopping yet, not all hope is lost: Many popular stores still haven’t reached their shipping cutoff date, including Harry & David, Kate Spade, lululemon, Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, Walmart and Macy’s.
