Holiday Help from Coupon Sherpa

Every time January rolls around, many Americans vow to not procrastinate during the next holiday shopping season. Though they have good intentions, due to their frenetic schedules, they typically do not fulfill the resolution, and they find themselves scurrying for Christmas gifts in December. Coupon Sherpa, has an answer to help consumers more easily complete their holiday shopping chores. The site has published a comprehensive list of retailers and their drop-dead holiday shipping deadlines for delivery in time for Christmas.

“The list is designed to help consumers plan their holiday shopping,” said Luke Knowles, who co-founded Coupon Sherpa with his brother, Jesse Knowles. “Different stores have different guidelines. Some will ship items as late as Dec. 20, for example, while others (such as merchants who make personalized gifts) require orders by Dec. 7-8.”

Knowles says that they have worked tirelessly to ensure the dates are accurate, but he recommends that readers verify the information with the merchants. The list will be regularly updated in the coming weeks.

Coupon Sherpa is a comprehensive resource where consumers can find online coupons, printable coupons and grocery coupons along with a free, downloadable iPhone application that provides access to mobile coupons.

It was the iPhone application that sparked the idea for the expanded Coupon Sherpa web site. Launched in April, the Coupon Sherpa iPhone application allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to access in-store coupons from their mobile device and present that coupon to the cashiers at participating merchants.

The Knowles received such an overwhelming response to the iPhone application that they decided to expand Coupon Sherpa into a one-stop online destination for coupons.

Coupon Sherpa is a comprehensive resource where consumers can find accurate and up-to-date online coupons, printable coupons and grocery coupons along with a free, downloadable iPhone application that provides access to mobile coupons. With the iPhone application, consumers can present the coupons (on their mobile devices) to the respective store’s cashier and receive the applicable discount. Merchants can post an unlimited amount of coupons on the application for free. For more information, visit www.couponsherpa.com.
