Here Are The Holiday Deadlines To Ship Your Gifts
The United States Postal Service believes they will be much busier than normal shipping Christmas and holiday gifts this season due to concerns over COVID-19. They are expecting more virtual gatherings due to the virus that continues to plague the world. Because of that, according to a post on their website, they say you should send your packages earlier than normal. Time to get your ducks in a row. Here are your deadlines for shipping packages for the United States Postal Service. These deadlines are for the lower 48 states and do not include Alaska or Hawaii.
As always, if you want to pay less for shipping, the sooner the cheaper. The later you ship this year you can expect to pay premium prices with higher fuel costs this year. So, if you are a procrastinator like myself, this may motivate you to act quicker.
