31 Things to do before Christmas – Pack it up, move 'em out!

(This is #17 of 31 in the 31 Things to do series)


Pack it up, move 'em out!


If you are shipping packages during the Christmas season, the earlier the better. You will avoid some of the crowds and avoid spending money on rush shipping charges.

You can find current postage and shipping rates at http://www.usps.com/.


The US Postal Service has published it’s 2008 Holiday Shipping Calendar for military and international mail. Also note that Thursday, Nov. 13th is the deadline for sending holiday packages to troops stationed overseas using Parcel Post to all Air/Army Post Office (APO) or Fleet Post Office (FPO) ZIP Codes. There are also discounts which may be available for shipping to APO addresses using the online "Click and Ship" option.


UPS has a Holiday FAQ page which is loaded with information.
