Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deuber in the den with dangerous day. You know,
if you've been meaning to mail that Christmas gift, get
on it. After today it starts to get pricey. If
you're using postal service to ship a box, today's the
last day they'll send it with normal priority mail to
make sure it gets there by Christmas. It might still
get there if you wait until tomorrow, but no promises.

(00:22):
There are cutoff dates for the Post Office UPS and
fed X. Post Office cut off for normal priority mail
is today or the twentieth for Priority Express, but it
costs more. Their site lists some dates, even in Hawaii.
In Alaska, UPS it's too late for normal ground shipping.
The cutoff for three day is the nineteenth, two day

(00:42):
ERA is at twenty second, and next day air is
the twenty third. Fed X. Again, it's probably too late
for the cheapest option. Four day cutoff is today, three
day is tomorrow. After that, it's time to ask yourself,
do they really need to get it by Christmas? Or
did they really need it at all? Maybe it's something
you bought and you like yourself deeper in the two well,

(01:02):
if you're looking to unload that scarf you got as
a gift last year you have Warren. Here's your excuse.
Happy National Regifting Day. I thought that would be maybe
on the twenty fifth, but I guess not supposed to
encourage us to give away gifts that we really don't want.
Of course, Seinfeld coined the term in nineteen ninety five.
At least that's when it got popular. Elaine had a

(01:23):
label maker from Tim Wattley and then got caught regifting
it to Jerry. How do we feel about regifting in general?
In twenty twenty five, A new poll says most Americans
think regifting is acceptable now. Sixty one percent said it's
somewhat okay, Twenty two percent said it's totally fine. Regifts
rank lower than US gifts, though sixty four percent thinks
secondhand gifts are okay. It depends on what it is. Leatherbound,
