WASHINGTON — So, you went out and spent a pile of money on holiday gifts this
weekend.
Now, it’s time to think about shipping them.
There’s still plenty of time, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get familiar
with
FedEx, UPS and Postal Service shipping deadlines, among others.
For example, if you want to pay the least amount to get those packages where
they’re going by Christmas Day, December 12 is the last day to ship using
Fedex
SmartPost.
For the Postal Service, December 15 is the last day to ship using standard
parcel post.
You can find more information on the various shipping dates and deadlines, per
company, below:
If you still have online shopping to do, Consumer Reports says dozens of
companies will take part in Free
Shipping Day on December 18, promising to get your orders delivered by
Christmas.
Consumer Reports has also put together a simple
list of “ship by” dates.
