Today marks the first deadline ground shipping at USPS. After today, you’ll have to pay more.
If you can’t make it out today, there are several other deadlines to meet:
For first class mail, you have until the 20th.
For priority mail, you have until the 21st.
And for express mail, you have until the 22nd.
There is a way to take the edge off the spike in rate… print your labels at home. You can avoid the lines and could save up to 15 percent.
