Timely shipping is essential during the holiday season, particularly for gift deliveries before Christmas. To assist shippers in preparing for the 2025 peak season, major carriers like FedEx, UPS, and the U.S. Postal Service have released recommended deadlines for shipments to arrive by Christmas Eve. These deadlines vary based on the carrier, service type, and package origin and destination. Additionally, these carriers suspend many services on major holidays, which further complicates timely delivery. Shippers should be aware of these suggested send-by dates for successful pre-Christmas deliveries.
