Important Deadlines
Have something to send to a military member overseas for the holidays?
Today’s the first of the military’s shipping deadlines, to make sure that parcel post items get to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan on time.
The cut-off for shipping via space-available mail is November 27th, and December 4th for Priority Mail and first-class mail.
The military’s postal policy chief in Kuwait tells AP Radio that getting holiday mail is vitally important to troops — saying if given a choice, he’d guess most would skip dinner rather than not get any mail.
