USPS: What are the deadlines for your Christmas shipments to arrive on time
With the approach of Christmas, the distribution centers of post offices in the United States are experiencing a Christmas crisis .
Although some of your workers wear Santa Claus hats, they have a full schedule.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) reported that is the busiest week of the year as more than 131, 000 mail pieces are processed on a daily basis during the month of December.
Most United States Postal Service workers work long hours looking for all letters and packages arrive in time for Christmas.
Postmen report that the week before Christmas the amount of mail they distributed is usually doubled compared to any other season of the year.
The week that started on 13 December is estimated to be processed and will deliver almost 2, 300 million pieces of mail , including greeting cards and packages
Before a letter or package reaches your door it must be Classified by USPS staff.
The most difficult thing, say many of the postmen, is not finding the addresses, but rather walking and traveling long distances during a work day .
