Time to mail holiday greetings
Options remain for those procrastinators who have not yet mailed their holiday greetings.
The U.S. Postal Service is recommending priority mail for customers with holiday shipping to areas within the contiguous United States.
Today is the deadline to send priority mail that should arrive before Sunday — Christmas. Priority Mail Express customers have a little more leeway. Items shipped before the Dec. 23 deadline should make it on time for the holiday.
Domestic, retail ground service and first-class mailed today or later may not arrive in time for the Christmas holiday.
