We’re all scrambling to get the last gifts before the holidays, placing orders left and right trying to make sure we’re not forgetting anyone. Well, Best Buy is once again on its best behavior, slashing prices left and right, including on some of our favorite Apple tech. The retailer is running a four-day sale which ends on Sunday, so there’s plenty of time for you to put in your order unless stock runs out on whatever product you’re eyeing.
Will your package arrive by Christmas? Every shipping deadline to know
As you’re shopping for the holidays, here are some deadlines to be aware of to avoid a mad-dash or disappointment.
Housing power and productivity in a sleek packaging, and of course, promising Apple’s ever-helpful ecosystem integration, its products are among our team’s favorite tech for a reason — and often on many holiday wish lists. Usually toting what we fondly refer to as the “Apple tax,” however, the company’s gadgets are pricey. These Best Buy sales, however, can make them a bit more budget-friendly to make both your recipient and bank account smile.
