(MGN) Christmas is less than two weeks away and you don’t have much time to get your gifts in the mail so they arrive in time for the holiday. There are a number of shipping deadlines coming up this week. The first one is Wednesday, but the United States Postal Service, UPS, and FedEx are telling everyone to get your gifts in the mail ASAP. The sooner you get it in the mail, the more money you’ll save. It’s the busiest time of year for the USPS, both inside and out. Jack Bernardo is getting ahead of the holiday rush, mailing a gift to his daughter who is in the Navy stationed overseas. The earlier you get your packages in the mail the more likely they’ll make it under your loved one’s tree by Christmas morning. USPS says they got ready for this peak season back in February by hiring and training new workers, preparing for tens of thousands of packages coming through the processing plant daily. James Chambers is the postmaster of USPS Fort Myers. He said, “I know that last year we processed about 1.3 billion packages through our peak season nationally. Fort Myers city, we were 1.3 million. If you were to divide our 30 days through that. That’s a lot of packages.” Wednesday, Dec. 15, is the deadline for retail ground service. That starts at nearly $8 depending on what you’re sending. December 15 is also the FedEx Ground deadline, starting at almost $9 for a padded envelope. And shipping an extra small box through UPS will also run about $9. The price only goes up the longer you wait. Check out pirateship.com. The website estimates how much it would cost you to send your package according to its dimensions and weight. It’ll also tell you which service and mail carrier will save you the most money this season.
