At the U.S. Post Office, you have until Dec. 15 to ship your packages if you're using their least expensive ground service.
FedEx has a Friday, Dec. 16 deadline for their standard ground service.
UPS gives you a couple extra days -- you have until Monday, Dec. 19 to take advantage of their 3-day select service.
For those on a tighter schedule, UPS and FedEx will let you ship all the way up to Dec. 23, but that fast delivery will cost you a lot more.
