The Postal Service recommends the following mailing and shipping deadlines for expected delivery by Dec. 25:
Dec. 17 — First-Class Mail service (including greeting cards)
Dec. 17 — First-Class packages (up to 15.99 ounces)
Dec. 18 — Priority Mail service
Dec. 23 — Priority Mail Express service
Millions of cards, letters, and packages move through mail processing facilities every day, and that number rises during the holidays. As part of the PMG’s Delivering for America plan, USPS has installed 112 processing machines and hired thousands of employees nationwide to process and deliver the more than 12 billion pieces of mail and packages expected this holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.
The Postal Service has 644,000 employees dedicated to ensuring gifts and greetings are delivered in time for the holidays. The busiest time of the season peaks two weeks before Christmas, when much of the last-minute shopping starts. Customer traffic is increasing now, with this week, Dec. 13-18, predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping, and delivery week.
Consumers don’t have to leave home to ship their packages. In these socially distant times, they can simply visit usps.com or use the Click-N-Ship feature for help shipping that holiday gift, ordering free Priority Mail boxes, printing shipping labels, purchasing postage and even requesting free next-day Package Pickup. And usps.com is always open.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
