OREANDA-NEWS. With one week until Christmas, Sears today announced last-minute deals, its biggest one-day sale of the year, and fast and convenient ways to get gifts in time for Christmas.

"At Sears we've taken the hassle out of last-minute holiday shopping -- from letting you skip the lines with our five minutes guaranteed In-Vehicle Pickup, to shopping inside our store for great deals and free shipping from our mobile app," said Joelle Maher, President and Chief Member Officer for Sears.

Sears also announced extended holiday hours. On December 18 and 19, store hours will be 8 a.m. to midnight and 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. on December 20 to 23*. Stores will be open Christmas Eve until 6 p.m. Sears.com is always open, and for online shoppers Sears offers free two-day shipping options on qualifying orders of $35 or more (previously $49). December 22 is the last day online orders will arrive by Christmas.

Over the next week, Sears Shop Your Way members and customers can get an extra 20% off when spending $50 or more, or an extra 15% off when spending up to $49.99 (exclusions apply). In addition, Sears will offer deals on top gifts including big and small appliances, apparel, fitness equipment, tools, electronics, jewelry, and more.
