With major holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa just around the corner, it’s time to start planning who you’ll be sending gifts to. The U.S. Postal Service, as well as UPS and FedEx have all released their shipping deadlines to ensure that your loved one gets their package on time. Why is it extra important to plan ahead this year? Because like everything else, shipping is more expensive (especially during the holiday season).
Earlier this year, the USPS announced temporary price adjustments for key package products for the 2022 peak holiday season, specifically the period that started on October 2nd and will remain in place until 12 a.m. CT Jan. 22, 2023. These shipping increases impact both commercial customers and retail customers.
