Amazon has shared an urgent last minute message to shoppers hoping to place orders for Christmas 2021.
The online retailer has issued advice to shoppers who want to order for delivery before Christmas Day - and has confirmed its pre-Christmas offers will be live until 21 December.
Amazon has previously boasted delivering orders as late as 11pm on Christmas Eve to its Prime members, who get priority postage and next day delivery on millions of items, but this year has warned that busy periods could lead to delays.

It says: "During this busy period, some deliveries may take slightly longer than usual. As always, please see your up-to-date delivery date at checkout, which provides our most accurate estimate of the delivery date.
“You can track the progress of your order at any time by visiting Your Orders in Your Account.”
Ahead of Christmas 2021, Amazon has launched a range of offers on everything from Echo Dot devices to perfume, gift sets and video games.
These deals are live now and will run until Tuesday, December 21, before prices go back to normal.
Amazon will then offer some last minute Christmas deals that can be ordered on Christmas Day itself. These include memberships to some of Amazon's services including Audible audio books, Amazon Prime Video and virtual gift cards.
