During the holiday season, postal service operations can slow down, and it can take longer for mail to arrive. If you are sending postcards, it is important to know when they will arrive. You can also choose to expedite shipping, which will guarantee on-time delivery of your mail.
The time that it takes for mail to arrive varies from region to region. For example, First Class Mail takes 1-3 days to reach most parts of the contiguous United States. However, mail from large cities will usually arrive sooner than mail from rural areas. The postal service estimates that 2.5 billion pieces of First Class Mail will be delivered in the week leading up to Christmas.
The USPS can also slow down mail delivery for up to two weeks. It also can experience backlogs and breakdowns. Mail can also be delayed due to weather, online orders, or staff shortages.
If you want your postcard to arrive quickly, consider mailing it on a Saturday. Mail sent on a Saturday usually arrives one day later. However, you can also drop your mail off at the post office instead, which can help save you a day.
If you are sending a holiday card, you should mail it earlier in the week. The postal service estimates that the busiest time for holiday delivery is two weeks before Christmas. During the holiday season, more people shop for gifts, and there are more people at the post office.
