Yokota Air Base – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service recommends service members and their families complete their ShopMyExchange.com orders early to secure military-exclusive holiday savings and receive their gifts in time for the holidays.

In the continental United States, authorized military shoppers—including honorably discharged Veterans and Department of Defense civilians—have through Dec. 17 to complete online purchases to receive regular ground shipment orders by Dec. 24. Purchases for priority shipment must be completed by Dec. 18. The last day for OCONUS shoppers to order online and ship gifts to APO or FPO addresses is Dec. 6.

Last-minute online shoppers can select FedEx two-day shipping on orders placed through Dec. 19 or choose overnight shipping through Dec. 22 to receive holiday items by Dec. 24.

“With the holiday season in full swing, the Exchange encourages shoppers to place their online orders early,” said General Manager Andrew Defelice. “Following these shipping guidelines helps ensure that service members and their families can receive their gifts on time.”

In-store or curbside pickup for online purchases is available for most items at the Exchange. Shipping times vary. Personalized items may take longer to ship. Contact 1-469-375-7519 ext. 181, for more information.
