Holiday Deliveries to Service Members Worldwide

Retailers aren’t the only ones gearing up for the busy holiday season ahead. In anticipation of the holiday shipping season, the United States Postal Service has announced the recommended holiday mailing dates in addition to a discounted, flat rate price of $12.95 for packages sent to military service personnel worldwide. This price includes the $2.00 per box discount on Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes for military that are sent to APO/FPO destinations worldwide.

This is happy news for those with family members abroad and the servicemen and women who look forward to receiving packages during their period abroad. In addition to the discount on shipping, the USPS assures families that they will be providing reliable and secure deliver to their military personnel.

November 12 is the last day the USPS recommends mailing the most economical postage to overseas military destinations, including Iraq and Afghanistan. Giselle Valera, Vice President and Managing Director of Global Business, says “We suggest using the Postal Service’s Priority Mail Flat Rate Boxes for sending all your military packages overseas this holiday season. There’s no shipping service that’s a better value, more reliable, or easier to use than our Flat Rate program. And, those familiar red and white boxes emblazoned with the ‘America Supports You’ logo are sure to remind those away from home, of a bit of home.”

To show even more holiday spirit, consider purchasing holiday shipping labels. Labels like the Season’s Greetings shipping labels will decorate your packages with holiday cheer and provide that little something extra to bring a bit of home to service members abroad. Not only are they appropriate for gifts being sent to friends and family, they are also appropriate for packages being sent from your business.
