USPS Holiday Shipping Schedule

[thentavius]

I've been looking all over the USPS website for the holiday shipping schedule. Just curious of anyone knows if they've released it yet.

I found the holiday schedules for international and military addresses, but not domestic.

I don't think they have one for domestic mail because the deadline is normally the estimated shipping time for the mailing class.  Priority Mail would be 3 business days before Xmas, etc.

The International and Military holiday deadline schedules are here:

Anyone find the "official" domestic schedule for USPS yet?

I know they had one last year...

Dec. 18th - First Class Mail

I received a letter today that was mailed from Manhattan on the 16th.  The total distance from the sender to my door is under 3 miles.  :

First Class mail is still faster than parcel post, they should call it pony express. From my location to anywhere back east it is taking up to 8 days. My customers are emailing me weekly now it seems asking where is my item? I can't even imagine the slow down now with the holiday season.  >
