Anyone still sending gifts for the holidays should get them in the mail as soon as possible.

The United State Postal Service has been inundated with packages, but is short on employees due to the pandemic, according to USA Today.

Those using ground shipping with the USPS, FedEx or UPS are urged to get their packages out by Tuesday.

Retailers like Kohl's, JC Penney and Lowe's say if you don't place an online order soon, you may have to pay for expedited shipping to get gifts on time.
