Post Office Preps For Busiest Day Of The Year

ST. PAUL (WCCO) -- Anyone wanting to stop by the post office to mail a package or letter Tuesday will want to plan a little extra time.  It is the U.S. Post Office's busiest day of the year, according to the Postmaster in St. Paul.

Post Office officials said if you want to guarantee your letters will get delivered by Christmas, you'll need to get them in the mail by Wednesday.

Between 5-7 million pieces of mail are expected to be shipped each day in the Twin Cities between Tuesday and Christmas Day.
