Introduction

 

It’s Christmas again, which we look forward to every year. In addition to gathering with family and friends, I believe you also want to enhance the Christmas holiday by decorating your house and exchanging gifts with one another. After all, this is a major holiday and deserves your extra thought. Nowadays, online shopping is becoming increasingly developed. There is a dazzling array of online products, and there are also special Christmas promotions. I believe you have also tried to purchase Christmas items on the Internet, but at the same time, you still have a few questions, such as whether the online products are reliable. The most important thing is when should shop so that I can both enjoy my Christmas gifts and receive them in time for Christmas. Due to the surge in goods and tight logistics during "Black Friday" and Christmas, most international logistics will also be suspended during Christmas, so you need a professional logistics service provider to make a perfect transportation plan for you. ChinaDivision has strong strength and rich logistics experience in the field of logistics. By cooperating with us, we will do our best to provide you with high-quality services and ensure that your packages are safely and accurately delivered to the destination in the shortest possible time.

 

 

 

USPS Christmas shipping deadlines

 

Next, I will detail USPS's service arrangements before Christmas, including the last operating hours for the 48 contiguous states, other U.S. territories, and international shipping. If you are using USPS and want to receive your package before Christmas, please read the following carefully and send it out before the last day:

  • Ground parcels weighing over 1 pound and sent to or from overseas zip code areas (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories) may have extended transit times and an estimated Date of Delivery (EDD). Please check the estimated delivery dates for these zip code areas and adjust your delivery date accordingly.

In the days leading up to Christmas, DHL operates 24/7 with extended hours. Therefore, you may encounter couriers picking up packages before 9:00 AM or after 8:30 PM. Since December 24th is not a public holiday in most countries, DHL typically delivers packages and gifts on Christmas Eve. However, December 24, 2025, falls on a Sunday, so DHL will not be delivering packages on Christmas Eve this year. Therefore, on December 23, DHL will shorten its business hours and will not offer door-to-door pickup service. That day is also the last delivery day before Christmas, and DHL will prioritize delivering as many packages as possible. DHL customer service will be open until 5 pm that day. This measure is to allow DHL employees to go home and spend the holidays with their families.

 

 

 

UPS Christmas shipping deadline

 

UPS notes that ground shipping typically takes five days or less, depending on the delivery address. This year, because Christmas falls on a Thursday, you have more time to choose expedited shipping. The deadlines for expedited shipping are as follows:

 

    • December 19th: Last day of the 3-Day Express service
    • December 22nd: Last day of the Next-Day Airmail service
    • December 23rd: Last day of the Next-Day Delivery service

 

UPS's Christmas holiday schedule for 2025 is as follows: On December 24, 2025 (Christmas Eve), UPS® will only provide pickup services for air and international air freight, and must be scheduled in advance by December 18, 2025. Pickup services for UPS Ground® services will not be available. All services can be delivered using UPS®. UPS Store® stores will be open as usual. On December 25, 2025 (Christmas Day), there will be no UPS® pickup or delivery services. UPS Store® stores may be closed. Please check with your local store for specific opening hours.
