Wednesday is not too late to mail Valentine’s Day gifts

COLUMBIANA — Last-minute gift-givers need not worry: Customers can ship Valentine’s Day gifts as late as Wednesday for guaranteed Feb. 14 delivery using the U.S. Postal Service’s Express Mail service, according to Columbiana Postmaster Charles Mulidore.

 Express Mail, the Postal Service’s premier package service, provides overnight delivery to most destinations nationwide at prices lower than other carriers, and includes a money-back guarantee, tracking, proof of delivery, and insurance at no additional cost.
