If you want your holiday gifts to get to your friends or family on time, you need to put the deadlines on your calendar.
USPS
For ground delivery, the United States Postal Service recommends sending your package by Dec. 15 for it to get there on Christmas Day.
If you don't make that date, you can always send your package the following week via First Class (Dec. 17) Priority (Dec. 18), or Priority Mail Express (Dec. 23).

UPS
As far as UPS goes, for ground shipping, your package should make it there on Christmas Eve if you send it out on Dec. 20. The price starts to climb once you get past that cut-off.
