With record breaking online spending and being 4 days from Christmas, you might think shoppers are close to being done shopping. However, 65% of shoppers are still not finished with holiday shopping!

The reasons?

Lack of time and money account for nearly two-thirds of the reasons why shoppers will be scrambling to get their gifts together before Christmas.

11% of survey respondents from a comScore survey are waiting for better deals-these are the people that risk purchasing back-ordered products and pay for next-day air shipping to receive their purchases in time, likely negating any benefit of a good sale (and if they do save a couple dollars, it will ultimately go toward blood pressure meds for waiting so long!)

6% “Enjoy the thrill of last-minute shopping.” This is the same category of people who used to run after the school bus to catch it, only to arrive with sweat stains and disheveled clothing.
