holiday shopping

PARAMUS, N.J. (AP) — Three New York residents are accused of pickpocketing shoppers at New Jersey malls.

NEW YORK (AP) -- This holiday season, it's almost as simple to shop on the other side of the world as it is to buy from a store down the block.

It's every shopper for themselves this holiday season. With millions of credit card numbers already compromised this year through breaches of major retailers, consumers are advised to be on the lookout for scams that can leave them feeling anything but jolly.

As parents head out to buy toys for their children this holiday season, the group NJ-PIRG, New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, has released its annual "Trouble in Toyland" report.

NEW YORK (AP) -- After a busy holiday weekend in shopping malls, millions of Americans are expected to log on and keep shopping on the day dubbed Cyber Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The crowds of bargain hunters that rush through store doors the day after Thanksgiving have thinned out.

Americans are spooked by recent data security breaches at major retailers across the U.S., according to a new survey.

NEW YORK (AP) -- UPS will hire up to 95,000. Kohl's plans to take on 67,000 and FedEx 50,000. Wal-Mart will add 60,000.

A majority of Americans used cash, gift cards or credit cards on holiday gifts this year, but many paid off their debt in an effort to enter 2014 without a holiday hangover, according to a new survey by RetailMeNot.com.

Americans waited until the last minute to buy holiday gifts, but retailers weren't prepared for the spike.
