# What is Amazon's Holiday Shipping Schedule?

If you’re shipping to Amazon during the holidays, note Amazon’s inventory cut-off dates for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas: 

Amazon recommends that your shipment arrive at Amazon fulfillment centers by **November 7th** to ensure inventory is available on **Black Friday** and **Cyber Monday**. Amazon recommends that your shipment arrive at Amazon fulfillment centers by **December 1st** to ensure inventory is available for **Christmas shoppers**.  

*Date recommendations are estimates and are subject to change****.***

Flexport will recommend the [appropriate shipping method](https://www.flexport.com/help/268-ship-air-or-lcl/) based on your cargo ready date and the date you would like your shipment to arrive at an Amazon fulfillment center.
