Girlawhirl's Holiday '06 Gift Guide: gotta get it there on time!
Dec 21, 2006

Essentially, time is running out for Girlawhirl to get those last few straggler gifts off to their recipients. With Christmas just a few days away, and the fact that the holiday is on a Monday this year, Girlawhirl knows that she needs to act now to make sure her gifts arrive on time…

Girlawhirl's checked with all the carriers, and here's what she knows: today, Thursday, December 21st, is the cut off for most of them to guarantee delivery by Christmas. They're all a little different. DHL is not actually delivering packages on Saturday, UPS and FedEx will deliver some packages on Saturday, and the US Postal Service will deliver all the way through, even on Sunday for Express Packages that meet certain criteria.

 

Girlawhirl's suggestion for those who haven't sent their gifts off yet? Check the links below to see what works best for where the gift is going and how much it will cost to get it there. And if there's really an emergency, UPS's SonicAir and DHL's Same Day Service could save the day. But don't discount the good old Post Office. They deliver Express Mail packages on December 25th as well!

 

 

Carrier 12/23 delivery? Drop off by emergency service?
FedEx Yes, w/ Sat deliver option 12/22 No
UPS Yes, if using an air service 12/22 SonicAir
DHL No Same Day Service
USPS Yes, even Sunday 12/24 day before

Check with your local post office for info on delivery 12/25
