Will first class mail arrive before christmas

The United States Postal Service (USPS) has specific deadlines for First Class Mail to ensure delivery by Christmas. Here are the deadlines for First Class Mail to arrive by December 25th:

• December 14th: For delivery to addresses in the contiguous United States
• December 20th: For delivery to addresses in Alaska
• December 21st: For delivery to addresses in Hawaii
• December 23rd: For delivery to addresses in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands

Please note that these deadlines are for First Class Mail, which includes letters, postcards, and lightweight packages. If you need to send a package that requires more time, you may want to consider using Priority Mail or Priority Mail Express.

Additionally, it's always a good idea to check the USPS website for any service disruptions or weather-related delays that may affect delivery times.

If you're sending a gift or important item, it's a good idea to plan ahead and send it well before the deadline to ensure it arrives on time.
