Time is running out if you are shipping holiday packages you want to arrive by Christmas.

With more people shopping online this year and shipping presents to loved one who they can not be with because of the pandemic, shipping deadlines have been moved up.

Today is the deadline for on-time ground delivery with the US Post office, UPS and Fed-Ex. And Friday the 18th is the deadline to get first class mail delivered by the Postal Service.

Packages can be shipped after today but you'll pay more.

Postal workers say they expected this week to be their busiest week this year.

More than 3 Billion packages are expected to shiped this holiday season.
