Is Sephora Offering Free Overnight Shipping?

If you've left your Christmas shopping until the last minute, you're probably starting to feel the pressure right about now. Perhaps you're hoping that Sephora is offering free overnight shipping, which would be nothing short of a miracle. And I'm sorry to tell you that free overnight shipping, as of now, appears to be just that: there's no sign of a lifesaving shipping deal on Sephora's website or social media accounts. But don't despair — Sephora is your friend, and friends don't leave friends out in the metaphorical holiday cold.

Sephora realizes that many of us are too lazy to drag ourselves out of our homes unless there's a chance for free pizza, so they have kindly posted their holiday shipping deadlines for us to look at. If you're in the military, live in Puerto Rico, or are purchasing hazmat materials (a uranium facial, perhaps?), and hoping to get your package before Christmas, you're out of luck — the deadline passed earlier this week. The last day for standard three-day and two-day shipping is Sunday, December 20 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

If ordering from Sephora last-minute is your thing, you'll want to check out their FLASH subscription service. For $10, you get free two-day shipping with no minimum purchase for a year, and if you really push your order till the last minute and need it overnight, your rate is reduced from $16.95 to $5.95. Plus, Flash subscribers can place their final Christmas purchase later than almost anybody — you have until December 21, 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The absolute final deadline is for overnight shipments, when must be placed by Tuesday, December 22.

Sephora is known for the great deals they offer, and there are plenty going on in the last big push before the season ends. Here are some great gifts you can order now and have waiting on your doorstep just in time to wrap up for Christmas.
