For the US:
2013 Holiday Mailing Dates
November 02, 2013
The United States Postal System (USPS) has announced the recommended mailing dates for packages and envelopes going to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Unlike years past, there are really only two sets of dates.
For almost all APO/FPO/DPO addresses:
Priority Mail Express Military Service: December 17th
First Class mail: December 10th
Priority mail: December 10th
PAL mail: December 3rd
SAM mail: November 26th
Standard Post: November 12th
For APO/FPO/DPO addresses that begin with 093:
Priority Mail Express Military Service: not available
First Class mail: December 3rd
Priority mail: December 3rd
PAL mail: December 3rd
SAM mail: November 26th
Standard Post: November 12th
Please keep in mind that these are recommendations and not guarantees. Earlier is always going to be cheaper and more likely to arrive on time.
I can’t believe we’re dealing with Christmas already.
Armylive has a spiffy graphic chart with all the dates on it. Check it out.
