It’s 2025, and sending and receiving mail shouldn’t still be such a headache. The Jetsons really set us up; we were supposed to have flying cars and instant deliveries by now. Instead, I’m still refreshing a tracking number that hasn’t moved in three days.

Local businesses may need to adjust shipping cutoffs.

If you run or order from a Victoria-based business that ships through USPS, pickup times might shift. Dropping mail earlier in the day will matter more to stay on schedule.

If you drop something off late in the day, USPS may shift some transportation schedules. That means your package or letter might arrive a day later than what you’re used to.

You can check new delivery timelines online before you send.
USPS is rolling out an interactive ZIP Code map and delivery calculator so you can plug in your ZIP and know exactly when something should arrive.
