Don’t pan-ship. That’s a made-up word for panic-shipping. It only makes things worse.
Send your gifts before the busiest day if you can. Or accept the chaos and enjoy the ride.
You can also track your package with Informed Delivery. It sends you a picture of incoming mail. It’s like a sneak peek of your future regrets.
The Aftermath
After the busiest day, the Post Office gets a little quieter. Not for long, though—New Year’s cards are coming.
They call this period the “Second Wave.” Yes, they have names for these things. Postal professionals are serious about their seasons.
But for now, buckle up. Your holiday card might arrive two days late. And that’s okay.
