UPS, USPS, FedEx last day to ship Christmas gifts
It’s not too early to think about when to ship Christmas presents.
The country’s three largest carriers, FedEx, UPS and United StatesPostalService, have posted their shipping times for the 2021 holidays, which is the last recommended day for shipping gifts. The dates are almost identical to 2019 and 2020 deadlines.
But consumers must be prepared for overdue packaging and possible disappointment even as they hit thresholds amid the coronavirus pandemic and with widespread supply chain disruptions.
According to a RetailMeNot survey of nearly 1,100 consumers, 37% of shoppers started their holiday shopping between August and September, or even earlier. 22% said they would start shopping in October and 24% planned to start in November before Thanksgiving.
