ALBEMARLE COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - Holiday shipping deadlines are quickly approaching.
Lines formed inside Mailbox Express at 5th Street Station Monday, December14, as customers sendoff cards and packages across the country. Owner Terry Brown says this year has been busier than previous years, and more people are keeping in touch with cards and gifts this year as the coronavirus pandemic has kept them physically apart.
Brown says he is telling people Wednesday, Dec. 16, is the deadline for people to send off their deliveries to the west side of the country to arrive by Christmas. Friday, Dec. 19, is the day for most east coast shipments.
