Background:

The Postal Service plans months ahead for the holiday season. It is a busy and rewarding time for postal employees around the nation as they work around the clock for their customers to ensure all holiday cards and packages are processed and delivered on-time.

Beginning the week of Dec. 5, customer traffic is expected to increase, with the week of Dec. 12-17 predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week. Nearly 250 million customers will visit Post Office locations this season, roughly 4.7 million per day.

Sunday package delivery for the peak season began Nov. 27 in select major markets.

It’s estimated roughly 149 million people will visit usps.com this season to order free Priority Mail boxes, print shipping labels, purchase postage and even request free next-day Package Pickup.

• Dec. 17 – First-Class Mail (greetings cards and letters)
