Time is running out for inexpensive ways to ship Christmas gifts before the holiday.While it’s possible to send a present overnight for Christmas Day delivery, the cost to do so may well exceed the price of the item. The U.S. Postal Service charges about $5 to send a small 10-pound box via priority mail. Come Dec. 24, that same 10-pound box will cost $73 for next-day delivery.
