US Postal Services Holiday Shipping Calendar

by Traci Anderson

I swear I do my best work in "crunch time". 

Somehow I am inspired by urgency.  I used to find it quite thrilling to turn in a twenty page term paper with a few hours left to spare until the deadline. 

The Holidays are no different.  I’ve caught myself checking the shipping calendars of many of my favorite online stores.  How long can I wait?  Chances are, I’ll be sitting at my computer ordering last minute gifts on the very last day that the post office guarantees *suggests* that they’ll be on time.

Alright fellow procrastinators…here are a few dates you’ll want to know about…

Mail Within the US:

December 20th:

Letters and Cards, Priority Mail, Express Mail,

December 15th:

Military Mail: This is a detailed calendar. Please click here for more information.

Keep in mind that online retailers will have thier own shipping deadlines.
