Walmart kicking off Black Friday deals even earlier this year

Walmart will kick off its Black Friday deals earlier than ever this year.

The retail giant said they will start their deals starting at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving, which is two hours earlier than last year.

Other deals will be staggered throughout the night, store officials said.

In an effort to curb shopper frustration, Walmart is also guaranteeing that shoppers in line at a certain time on Thanksgiving will get their hands on three hot deals.

The US Postal Service has released its holiday shipping dates to make sure gifts will get to their destinations for Christmas.

The deadlines are as follows:

• Domestic Mail – Dec. 14
• First Class Mail – Dec. 20
• Priority Mail – Dec. 21
• Express Mail – Dec. 22
