I'm doing a little thinking out loud about the looming shipping deadlines for Christmas. Fortunately, I don't have a ton of packages that have to ship, but the few I do have I would like to arrive before the big day. I also haven't even started my Christmas cards, so that's a mailing deadline I need to think about!
Here's the shipping facts I've gathered together all in one place. I hope they help you with any shipping situations you have going on!
