Get ready for Peak 2025

Prepare for a smooth delivery experience for you and your customers during this busy season.
Turn Reliable Delivery into Holiday Growth

The holiday season is your prime opportunity to drive sales and build lasting customer loyalty, and a reliable delivery experience is the key to unlocking that growth. To help you make the most of the busiest time of the year, we recommend that shipments planned for delivery in time for Christmas Day are scheduled for pickup on or before December 18. With this cutoff date, you can provide customers with reliable delivery information and convert last-minute shoppers into sales that might otherwise be lost.

By planning your final holiday shipments around this key date, you can confidently meet customer expectations, strengthen your brand’s reputation for reliability, and turn the seasonal rush into a significant growth opportunity. We encourage you to schedule your pickups in advance to ensure a smooth operation and turn holiday demand into lasting customer loyalty.
