If you haven’t even thought about holiday shopping yet, much less started it, you’ll be relieved to know we still have plenty of time to get gifts in the mail for them to arrive on time for the holidays. The major shipping services - UPS, USPS and FedEx - all have their own deadlines for sending mail and packages if you want them to get there by December 25th. And since Christmas Eve is a Sunday this year, shipping may be more limited on that date.
