The United States Postal Service suggests all orders with retail ground shipping be placed by Dec. 14. First class mail should be ordered by Dec. 19, priority mail by Dec. 20 and priority express by Dec. 2
UPS says the last day to get its 3-Day Select service is Dec. 18. Two-day air service is available for deliveries ordered by Dec. 21, but they must be labeled for Saturday delivery (which is not available to all ZIP codes). Saturday delivery fees are $16 per package.
FedEx ground shipping will not be delivered on Saturday, Dec. 23, the company says, but other services, such as FedEx Express, will be delivered on that Saturday for a $16 delivery fee per package if Saturday service is selected (this includes First Overnight, Priority Overnight and 2Day services). Orders should be placed by Dec. 15.
United Parcel Service last week warned shoppers of delivery delays after a bottleneck of Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders. The company said it rented more delivery trucks and has employees clocking extra hours to push out deliveries in a timely manner.
