NRI was an early leader in rate-shopping logic – a transportation strategy that leverages the best attributes of multiple carriers. For our partner clients, this translates into supply chain protection, cost savings, and optimal service. With Q4 here, the value is amplified.

As we are gearing up for a busy Holiday season, we wanted the opportunity to thank you for all your business and support over the 2023 year. We also wanted to let you know about some important cutoff dates to be conscious of as we are headed into the holidays. Please note that these are estimated deadlines provided by carriers and transit times may be affected by high volumes.

USA Holiday Shipping Deadlines 2023

Please note there will be no pickups on Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve.

Note: Cutoff dates are the dates that carriers will need to receive the freight for the shipment to arrive before Christmas. Order should be sent to NRI with time for shipment preparation.
