As holidays are fast approaching, so are the mailing deadlines — first is Nov. 27. Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Postal Operations has recommendations for Sailors to follow to make sure packages arrive in time.

“Most ashore Navy Post Offices will extend package pick up and customer service hours to support the holiday rush, so mail or order early to ensure packages arrive in time for the holidays,” said Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Postal Operations Manager Dale Pinchart.
