Hopefully you have already started your holiday shopping, because shipping deadlines are coming before you know it.

The three big shipping and delivery companies have already announced the dates you need to make sure your packages show up before Dec. 25.

FedEx shipping deadlines for Dec. 25, 2022

Because Christmas falls on a Sunday this year, you can't get overnight delivery from FedEx. You'll have to ship FedEx Same Day on Dec. 23 to get your package there by Christmas. FedEx Express Saver, 2Day and Overnight service deadlines are all one day earlier this year, due to the Sunday holiday date.

Domestic service Ship Date (excluding Alaska & Hawaii)

Ground Dec. 14

Express Saver Dec. 20

2Day and 2Day AM* Dec. 21

First/Priority Overnight Dec. 22

SameDay Dec. 23

UPS shipping deadlines for Dec. 25, 2022

Similarly to FedEx, UPS shipping deadlines are all about a day earlier than last year. You'll need to send your very latest packages by Dec. 22 to make sure they arrive by Dec. 25.

Domestic service Ship Date (excluding Alaska & Hawaii)

USPS shipping deadlines for Dec. 25, 2022

The U.S. Post Office deadlines for shipping packages for Christmas are about exactly the same as last year. Here are the dates the post office recommends if you want your packages to arrive by Dec. 25.

Domestic Mail Class/Product Ship Date (excluding Alaska & Hawaii)

USPS Retail Ground® Service Dec. 17

First-Class Mail® Service Dec. 17

Priority Mail® Service Dec. 19

Priority Mail Express® Service2 Dec. 23

Hanukkah starts on Dec. 18 and runs through Dec. 26. Since Hanukkah begins exactly a week before Christmas, you should subtract a week from the Christmas deadlines to figure out Hanukkah deadlines.

Kwanzaa starts on Dec. 26, which is a federal holiday this year, so you will need to follow Christmas deadlines for package delivery. Both USPS and UPS will not be delivering packages on Dec. 26, and FedEx will have limited services.
