2020 Holiday Shipping Deadlines
We may not have multiple generations gathering under the same roof to celebrate this holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we have to skip the festivities altogether. If traveling to see relatives is not in the cards, you may be relying on mail to deliver holiday cheer. Between an increase in online shopping and volume of packages being mailed to loved ones, the USPS anticipates longer than usual shipping times, so plan accordingly.
If you are sending your cookies, cards, and packages by mail, make sure you get them out the door by these recommended holiday shipping deadlines.
