Holiday shipping 2022

Thu 1 Dec 2022 - Filed under: Not a Journal., , , | Posted by: Gavin

Here’s my annual reminder that holiday mail dates are coming up fast. Our office will be closed as usual from December 21 – January 2, 2023. (Of course, Weightless is always open.)

Media mail shipping is free. However, as per our usual warnings, the USPS doesn’t even give a last mailing date for media mail packages as they’re the last ones put on a truck. If the truck’s full, the media mail packages are put aside for the next one. And so on. If it’s really busy, those packages may arrive after the holidays. If you don’t care, yay! If you want to guarantee pre-holiday arrival, please choose Priority Mail.

Here are the last order dates for Small Beer Press—which are not the same as everyone else, see note about the office being closed above.

USPS Retail Ground® Service Dec. 17
First-Class Mail® Service Dec. 17
Priority Mail® Service Dec. 19
Priority Mail Express® Service2 Dec. 21

Happy holidays! Hope you get to rest and read a good book or two.
