The Postal Service anticipates Dec. 14 will be the Postal Service’s busiest day online with more than 13 million consumers predicted to visit usps.com for help shipping that special holiday gift.

It’s estimated nearly 500,000 consumers will use the Click-N-Ship feature and other online services on Dec. 14 to order free Priority Mail boxes, print shipping labels, purchase postage and even request free next-day Package Pickup.

2020 Holiday Shipping Deadlines

  • Dec. 15 – USPS Retail Ground
  • Dec. 18 – First-Class Mail (greetings cards and letters)
  • Dec. 19 – Priority Mail
  • Dec. 23 – Priority Mail Express

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
