Absolute last day to mail packages before Christmas is tomorrow

Time is running out if you’re planning on sending holiday packages to loved ones.

There are just four days left until Christmas and the US Postal Service is reminding everyone about the last day to get those packages out if you want them to arrive in time for Christmas.

Saturday, December 22, is the last day to send packages Priority Mail Express.

And a few pointers to remember when sending packages either across the country or overseas:

When wrapping those gifts for shipment, remember to use a sturdy box, large enough to include padding, such as bubble wrap or packing peanuts.

Also, make sure you use pressure-sensitive tape to secure all box flaps.

And don’t write, but rather print the address in large, black letters that are easy for postal workers to see and read. Include whether it’s a street, lane, road, etc.

And don’t forget to include the ZIP code and your return address in case there’s a problem with delivery and your package must be returned.
