As the Postmaster for Cave Creek, I want to share that the Postal Service is primed and ready to deliver exceptional service during the 2024 holiday rush to our community. Thanks to the substantial progress USPS has made under the Delivering for America plan — a $40 billion investment aimed at revitalizing the national postal network — our operational, transportation and delivery processes have never been more finely tuned. My dedicated team and I are fully prepared to once again handle the peak holiday season surge for our community.
As our community prepares for the holidays, I encourage you to Ship It Early by sending your holiday mail and packages well in advance to ensure they reach their destinations on time.
But we understand that sometimes cards or packages are sent last minute. Here are our recommended send-by dates for expected holiday delivery within the continental U.S. before Dec 25:
· Dec. 18: USPS Ground Advantage service; First Class Mail service
· Dec. 19: Priority Mail service
· Dec. 21: Priority Mail Express service
For a complete list of recommended holiday mailing and shipping dates, including if you are mailing to a loved one in the Armed Forces, please visit usps.com/holidayshippingdates. And remember: the earlier you send, the better — Ship it Early!
We are honored and grateful for your trust in the U.S. Postal Service. Your postal teams here at the at the Cave Creek and Carefree Post Offices are proud to be the most affordable, reliable way to send cheer this holiday season, and we’re ready to deliver exceptional service during the holidays and beyond.
Happy Holidays from our teams to you,
George Reynolds
Postmaster, Cave Creek and Carefree Post Offices
