USPS Announces Key 2025 Christmas Shipping Deadlines to Avoid Delays
The US Postal Service (USPS) has released its recommended shipping deadlines for Christmas 2025. Customers sending parcels and cards within the contiguous US must plan ahead to ensure delivery by December 25. Different services have varying cut-off dates, with some requiring packages to be posted as early as mid-December.
For those using USPS Ground Advantage or sending Christmas Cards, the last recommended shipping date is December 17, 2025. This service is the slowest option for holiday deliveries, so customers should avoid delays.
The deadlines apply to both domestic and remote US destinations. Missing these dates risks late delivery, so customers should check USPS guidelines before sending. Those needing absolute certainty for Christmas arrival should opt for Priority Mail Express before the cut-off.
