Packages during holidays

[John Alan DeMarco]

How does the packages work during the holidays. I am seeing a schedule, and assume partly this is to insure your package arrives in time you must ship by dates. Do we get any Discounts? I noticed 11/7 usps ground and after 11/25 space available. What do these terms mean?

Thanks in advance.

Below the chart is an explanation though I ship USPS Flat Rate-- give it some extra time and I've never had any issues......

Fleet Post Office (FPO)
