USPS announces 2026 holiday shipping deadlines for holiday delivery
- On Tuesday, the United States Postal Service announced recommended shipping deadlines to ensure holiday gifts arrive by Christmas Day, covering all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories.
- Because postal workers need more than one night to deliver presents before Christmas morning, officials urged customers to ship packages early during the busy holiday season.
- For the contiguous United States, USPS recommends December 17 for Ground Advantage or First-Class Mail, December 18 for Priority Mail, and December 19 for Priority Mail Express, which promises one- to three-day delivery.
- Shipments to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories via Ground Advantage must be sent by December 16, one day earlier than the contiguous U.S., while First-Class Mail and Priority Mail follow the same December 17-18 schedule.
- The Postal Service noted Hanukkah occurs earlier this year from December 4-12 and recommended customers adjust shipping dates accordingly, with complete military and international shipping guidance available on the USPS website beginning mid-October.
