Holiday shipping season hits fast, and every carrier has its own deadlines, rules, and cutoff dates. This year, they’re tighter than ever — which means waiting “just a few more days” can cost you more than you think.
Here’s the short version: USPS First-Class Packages, Priority Mail to some regions, and several international services begin closing out as early as December 9, 2025. By mid-December, pricing goes up and options narrow.
At Star MailHub & More, we cut through that confusion. With all four major carriers — USPS, FedEx, UPS, and DHL — in one place, we match every shipment with the carrier that fits your timeline, destination, and budget.
A few key deadlines to keep your season smooth:
-
USPS First-Class Packages: December 9
-
USPS Priority Mail: December 18 (AK, HI & PR: December 16)
-
USPS Priority Mail Express: December 20
-
FedEx & UPS Ground: December 17
-
FedEx & UPS 3-Day: December 19
-
FedEx & UPS 2-Day: December 22
-
FedEx Overnight & UPS Worldwide Express: December 23
-
International Economy options begin closing December 19
If your item is fragile, oddly shaped, or headed out of the country, don’t wait. We pack professionally, ship quickly, and help you hit the deadlines without stress.
Extended Saturday hours (9–4 through December 20) give you room to breathe. Bring your boxes, your gifts, your “I’ll get to it later” piles — we’ll take it from here.
When you’re ready to ship smart, ship with all four carriers in one stop.
