The holiday shipping season is officially in full swing, and the deadlines begin tightening quickly from this point forward. While it may feel like there’s still plenty of time, early December is actually one of the best weeks of the season to get your packages moving. Shipping options are wider, pricing is still reasonable, and carriers are running at full capacity before the mid-month crunch.
If you’ve been waiting to send out gifts, products, care packages, or customer orders, this week offers the smartest window to get ahead. Delays become more common later in the month, especially as volume spikes and winter weather begins affecting transportation networks.
What can you ship this week to stay ahead?
• Gifts for out-of-town family
• Customer orders or business shipments
• Care packages for college students
• Holiday returns (FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL)
• Anything fragile that needs extra time for packing
• Early shipments to avoid paying express rates later
If you’re not sure which carrier to use, we can help. Star MailHub & More ships with all four major carriers — USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL — so you get the best option for your timeline, destination, and budget.
The best approach is simple: gather up the gifts and boxes that are sitting in closets, under desks, or still in shopping bags. Bring them in, and we’ll walk you through the easiest and most reliable way to get them delivered safely and on time.
