The U.S. Postal Service has been struggling with delays all year, so it's very important to ship early. Here are some key deadlines.
If you're scrolling through hot deals this Cyber Monday week, don't forget that the deadline for sending holiday packages is only a few weeks out.Mason McCarty runs a shipping store, Safe Ship, and is enjoying this last calm before the storm.
"I will have a line out the door in the next couple of weeks," he said,"I will have 10 to 15 people in a line all day long.""Pretty much down the line you are going to see a 5 to 10 percent increase" he said."If you are one of those that want to go Priority Mail," he said."You need to get those out before the middle of December. It's not worth waiting until the last minute and counting on Priority shipping.
When it comes to shipping around the holidays, experts say there is very little wiggle room this year due to staffing shortages plus a higher demand for services. Kate Hoots with Merchant Maverick says it is essential to pay attention to the holiday deadlines if you want your gifts to arrive on time. "If you were planning a two-day FedEx package, for example, you can't always take it to the facility two days before," she said.After that, you'll need to rely on much pricier options like FedEx Express Saver, or FedEx Same Day.For UPS Ground, the deadline varies by location, so check with a local UPS store.Bottom line, this year: the longer you wait, Hoots says,"more hassle, more time and more money. There's just no other way around it.
