November 28, 2005) — Did you wrap that last gift for Aunt Maria? How about the snowsuit for your brother's new baby?
The holiday season is officially here and that means it's not only time to think about what gifts to buy, but how and when to send them. (FYI: Christmas Day is Dec. 25; the first night of Hanukkah begins on Dec. 25 and Kwanzaa begins Dec. 26.)
The U.S. Postal Service has set deadlines to help you get your holiday packages out on time.
Dec. 14: Deadline for Parcel Post (general delivery of packages that will travel domestically) and Global Priority Mail (packages going outside the country; delivery typically takes three to five days).
Dec. 16: International Global Express Mail (packages and letters usually delivered in two to three days).
Dec. 17: Deadline to order USPS holiday gifts (log onto www.usps.com to purchase stamps and other gifts from the postal store) and for Global Express Mail service to Canada.
Dec. 19: Deadline to ship first-class mail (domestic letters or packages weighing up to 13 ounces) and NetPost Cardstore Greeting Cards Global Express Guaranteed (a service that lets you print your greeting cards from the USPS Web site).
Dec. 21: Deadline to ship using Priority Mail service (domestic service that usually delivers letters and packages within two to three days).
Dec 23: Deadline to ship using Express Mail service (guaranteed overnight service). The USPS in most areas will deliver Express Mail on Christmas Eve at no extra cost, but the farther a package has to go, the more time it may take to get to its destination
There's the schecule for shipping deadlines... Have fun and push em out the door.
