"The holiday crunch at the post office is on. The week before Christmas is traditionally the busiest week of the year for the carrier, which means procrastinators should expect to wait in line. The agency's holiday mail tracker shows more than seven billion pieces of mail are already on the move nationwide. And the post office says it is working 24-7 to keep everything on track."
"To ensure packages make it in time for Christmas, the ground and first-class mail deadline is Wednesday, December 17. The priority mail deadline is Thursday, December 18, with the priority mail express deadline Saturday, December 20. Post Office locations nationwide will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Here are some additional options: UPS 3-day Packages being sent using three-day shipping with UPS must be sent by Dec. 19."
The week before Christmas is the busiest mailing period, with more than seven billion pieces of mail already moving nationwide and postal staff working around the clock. USPS deadlines to reach Christmas are Dec. 17 for ground and first-class, Dec. 18 for Priority Mail, and Dec. 20 for Priority Mail Express; post offices close on Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Alternative carrier deadlines include UPS 3-day by Dec. 19, 2nd Day by Dec. 22, Next Day by Dec. 23, and FedEx Express Saver by Dec. 20. Recommended precautions include verifying ZIP codes, enclosing a return-address card, checking retailers' shipping cutoffs, shipping directly when possible, and using USPS Flat Rate boxes. Tariff-related fees may apply to certain imports such as leather clothing, sports equipment, and toys.
