USPS Holiday Shipping Deadlines Approaching for Christmas Delivery

Several important deadlines are approaching this week for anyone planning to send gifts through the United States Postal Service and have them arrive before Christmas.

• Tomorrow is the deadline to mail packages using USPS Ground Advantage Service or First-Class Mail for delivery by December 25.
• Friday is the last day to ship items using Priority Mail and still expect Christmas delivery.
• Saturday is the deadline for Priority Mail Express, the fastest USPS shipping option.

These deadlines apply to shipments within the lower 48 states. Shipping dates for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories are different.

Customers are encouraged to mail early and check USPS guidelines for specific delivery timelines.
