I’ll be Home for Christmas…
Or at least the gifts will be! Let FedEx Office assist when it comes time to pack up the gifts and send them out to family and friends around the globe. Team members can handle everything from odd-shaped items to fragile gifts with professional packing services starting at just $4.99. Customers who prefer do-it-yourself packaging solutions can stop by a FedEx Office location to find a full range of shipping supplies including boxes, mailing tubes and more.
Anticipating airport anxiety? FedEx Office can take care of suitcases, too. By shipping luggage ahead with FedEx, travelers can avoid checked baggage fees and frustrating holiday travel rules that restrict packing and carrying on wrapped gifts.
Baby It’s Cold Outside…
But that doesn’t mean holiday gifts should be left out in the winter weather. If gift recipients aren’t likely to be home when the couriers arrive, select the free Hold at FedEx Location service on the shipping label and arrange to have FedEx Office hold the package at the location that is most convenient for the recipient. This complimentary service also helps keep holiday gifts a secret from loved ones who may be tempted to sneak a peek.

Do You Hear What I Hear?
Listen up for important Christmas delivery cut-off dates! Don’t forget that Dec. 16 is the last day to ship with FedEx Ground, the most economical option which is also faster to more U.S. locations than UPS. Procrastinators can hold out until Dec. 23, which is the last day to ship via FedEx Express.
Dec. 12 is predicted to be the busiest shipping day of the year for FedEx. On this day the company expects to move more than 17 million shipments – almost double its daily average volume – through its global networks.
