USPS is anticipating a busy shipping season and in order to get ahead of any potential delays, the mail service company is offering a new option this year called USPS Ground Advantage. It provides a simple yet reliable way to ship packages on certain dates, with delivery between two to five days.

USPS also said there will be no holiday peak or demand surcharges this year to allow customers to accurately budget shipping costs.
Once the holiday season is over, USPS will officially set its sights on 2024 stamp designs.
