It’s not even Halloween yet, but you might want to start thinking about any holidays gifts you might want to send to loved ones.
The U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, and UPS have released the final dates for shipping Christmas gifts.
According to the Postal Service, if customers want their packages to get there on time and wish to send their packages through retail ground, they must mail them by December 15th. First class packages must be shipped by December 17th, and customers must send priority mail by December 18th. Overall, The Postal Service recommends consumers mail gifts before December 6th, as that’s the date when customer traffic increases significantly.
