Don’t Worry, Here’s How New Jersey Can Make Sure Holiday Packages Arrive On Time
Shipping dates are at the forefront of a lot of people's minds right now, and reasonably so.
It's the season of holiday hustle and bustle.

If you aren't on top of your holiday shopping, it can be really easy to fall behind fast.
Trust me, it happens to me every year and I'm sure you've been there too; it's the week of Christmas and you realize you need a last-minute gift and you are way past the shipping dates to get your presents where they need to be on time.
Fortunately, FedEx, USPS, and UPS have all provided their shipping deadlines so that your packages can get to their destination on time.
APP reports that this year's shipping deadlines are similar to last year's, just a little earlier.
