Managing a holiday calendar and factoring in pickup windows or limited operating hours are key to a successful holiday shipping season. Make sure to keep carriers’ end-of-year schedules in mind to avoid just-in-time or stuck shipments!

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day fall on Sunday and Monday in 2023. Many companies will extend closures to include Friday, Dec. 22, resulting in a 4-day closure, so plan your shipping cutoff times accordingly.
Work ahead of your typical fulfillment timelines to ensure that you’re on schedule for pick联合包裹. Always list your true opening and closing times to provide carriers with the widest available pickup window.
Set realistic expectations regarding cutoff times, transit times and delays. Communicate these expected timelines with your customers to avoid complications, build rapport and encourage repeat business in the new year.
