Jamaica, December 11, 2025 – The festive season is officially in high gear, and for many, that means the frantic race to get gifts shipped.

Ship To Sure, a prominent shipping service with 10 locations islandwide, has just dropped a crucial update: a hard cut-off date for guaranteed Christmas delivery.

If you’re planning on sending packages, marking your calendar is now more critical than ever.

The company, which operates under the tagline “Shipping Made Simple,” has set Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 4:00 PM as the absolute final date. Packages received by this specific time are promised to be processed and shipped with the intention of arriving before Christmas. Miss that window, however, and you’re entering the risky zone where holiday delivery simply “cannot be guaranteed.”

Why the strict deadline? Ship To Sure points to the usual suspects: increased shipment volumes, airline capacity constraints, customs processing delays, and general seasonal congestion.

While these are common challenges during the holidays, the urgency this year feels particularly pronounced. Is this just typical holiday chaos, or are other factors at play?

Adding another layer to the situation, Ship To Sure noted that it has reduced shipping rates across all its locations, a measure specifically implemented to support customers following the recent Hurricane Melissa. This gesture of affordability is certainly welcome, but it also underscores the lingering logistical challenges that the island’s infrastructure might still be navigating. Ship To Sure positions itself as a crucial link for many, simplifying the complex world of package delivery for its users.

The message from the Ship To Sure team is clear: “We strongly encourage customers to send items early to avoid disappointment and last-minute delays.” It’s a polite warning that translates into real-world stress for anyone hoping a package makes it under the tree. With just over a week left until their deadline, the pressure is on.

So, as the clock ticks down, remember: planning ahead is your best strategy. “Shipping Made Simple” might be the motto, but during peak season and post-hurricane recovery, simplicity often demands proactive action from the consumer.

Will your gifts make it? That largely depends on how quickly you act.
