GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Christmas is 20 days away and time is running out if you’re shipping presents to loved ones, whether domestic or international.
US Postal Service spokesman Sean Hargadon says get your packages in the mail now if you’re shipping overseas. If you’re sending presents domestically, you still have more time.
“The deadline for sending out a card, letter, or package First Class mail would be December 20…you have a little bit of time coming up. For Priority Mail it would be December 21 and for Priority Mail Express it would be December 23.”
If you’re shipping overseas you have even less time and should think about getting the packages in the mail soon rather than later.
“Depending upon where they’re going, you know you’re kind of running at a point now where you probably have to be sending stuff out Priority Mail Express and some cases when you get closer Global Express Mail guarantees,” said Hargadon.
Despite what some may think, the package business is not slowing down. USPS expects to deliver roughly 750 million packages.
