The United States Postal Service and Military Postal Service Agency have released 2011 deadlines to ensure that packages arrive to Military and State Department post offices overseas by Dec. 25, 2011.
2011 Mailing Schedule is as follows:
- Nov. 12 for parcel post mail
- Nov. 26 for space-available mail;
- Dec. 3 for parcel airlift mail;
- Dec. 10 for priority mail and first-class mail, letters and cards; and
- Dec. 17 for express mail military service.
The Military Postal Service does suggest to try and mail off your packages before the suggested dates, to ensure on time delivery for mail that gets pushed back or delayed.
