As the Narrowsburg postmaster, my team and I are here to help your holiday cards and gifts move to their destinations without a hitch. The Postal Service’s recent modernization efforts—practical changes in how we sort, stage and dispatch—align us with leading logistical practices to best deliver your holidays.

A few quick tips: confirm your addresses (including Zip codes and apartment or suite numbers); choose the right service (USPS Ground Advantage for value, Priority Mail for speed and Priority Mail Express when timing is critical); be aware of recommended ship-by dates; and visit usps.com for all your mailing and shipping needs.

As always, ship early!  This year, our recommended ship-by dates for expected holiday delivery within the continental U.S. before December 25 are:

Wednesday, December 17: USPS Ground Advantage service; First Class Mail service

Thursday, December 18: Priority Mail service

Saturday, December 20: Priority Mail Express service

We’re focused on dependable performance for every address we serve. Thanks for trusting the Postal Service this holiday season.
