USPS recommends holiday shipping, mailing dates

As the officer in charge at Las Cruces Post Office, I want to share that the Postal Service is primed and ready to deliver exceptional service during the 2024 holiday rush. Thanks to the substantial progress USPS has made under the Delivering for America plan -- a $40 billion investment aimed at revitalizing the national postal network -- our operational, transportation and delivery processes have never been more finely tuned. All of our dedicated teams in Las Cruces and the surrounding region are fully prepared to once again handle the peak holiday season surge for our communities.

With the holiday fast approaching, we encourage you to Ship It Early by sending your holiday mail and packages well in advance to ensure they reach their destinations on time.

But we understand that sometimes cards or packages are sent last minute. Here are our recommended mail dates for expected holiday delivery within the continental U.S. before Dec 25:

We are honored and grateful for your trust in the U.S. Postal Service; and proud to be the most affordable, reliable way to send cheer this holiday season, and we're ready to deliver exceptional service during the holidays and beyond. All of our teams look forward to serving you this holiday season.

Happy Holidays from our teams to you,
