Here are the deadlines for sending those last-minute holiday cards and packages

If you haven’t sent those final packages or holiday cards, there’s still time. Here are the final holiday deadlines for the U.S. Postal Service, UPS, FedEx and more if you want your items delivered in time for Christmas Day.

U.S. Postal Service deadlines

• Dec. 14, USPS Retail Ground: This option is for “less-than-urgent deliveries and oversized packages,” according to the Postal Service. Rates start at $6.70.
