If you are shipping gifts, the deadline is coming up soon to get them there on time!
Posted on by Monica Reed

Since the pandemic started, many people are doing more shopping online, so that has put more deliveries on Postal, Fed-Ex and UPS workers. You add the holidays into the mix and the load level has tripled, maybe even quadrupled!

The first deadlines for getting those Christmas gifts to your loved ones are coming up, QUICK!

December 7: USPS cutoff for many international shipping options. See the list here.

December 15: Deadline for ground shipping from USPS, FedEx and UPS. First Class and Priority Deadline for Hawaii

December 18: USPS First Class deadline for Alaska

December 21: USPS Priority deadline for Alaska & Hawaii. Last day for UPS 3-Day Select option

December 23: Cutoff for UPS Next Day Air, USPS Priority Mail Express & FedEx Overnight options

Long lines at the post office are expected as Christmas inches closer. People can avoid the wait by paying for labels and printing them at home.  You can do that HERE.

Keep these dates in mind!
