For all those shipping procrastinators out there, listen up as we have some important deadlines to tell you about.
The Lima Post Office wants everyone to get their gifts to their loved ones on time so everyone has a good holiday. Here are the important deadlines you need to know so you can choose the right shipping for delivery by Christmas Day. The deadline for shipping by USPS Ground is this Saturday, December 14th. To have something delivered to a military member on time, choose Express and mail it out by December 18th.
The busiest time for the USPS is December 16th through December 22nd, and the Lima Post Office is already seeing a sharp increase.
“It's very busy, we're seeing a pick-up. We've got carriers working 12 hours a day, clerks working 12 hour days, but we expect this. This is the time of year that we shine, everybody puts on their extra layer of coats and get out there and get this job done,” states Lima Postmaster Greg Bayes.
Bayes also wants to remind people to put an additional shipping label inside your package in case the first one gets damaged or lost.
