JACKSON, Miss.- Christmas is coming and so is the deadline to make sure gifts sent through the United States Postal Service make it in time for Christmas morning.
By Dec. 17, two of the listed deadline dates will have passed, but you still have a few options to ensure your package gets to its destination.
- USPS Ground Advantage — Dec. 16
- First-Class Mail (including greeting cards) — Dec. 16
- Priority Mail — Dec. 18
- Priority Mail Express — Dec. 20.
“The deadlines are there for a reason,” said USPS Spokesperson for Alabama and Mississippi, Debra Fetterly.
Fetterly says the amount of mail being sent this year is up 15%, but with the help of additional resources, the high volume of packages isn’t slowing down workers from getting the job done.
Fetterly asks that you be mindful of areas around your house where packages could be delivered.
Deadlines are set by USPS for a reason, but if you send mail a day after the deadline, there still could be a chance it makes it where it needs to go on time. (WLBT 12/17/23) USPS announces pre-Christmas delivery deadline dates (wlox.com)
