Holiday Shipments On The Rise

Posted: Updated:

United Parcel Service expects its holiday shipments to jump by nine-point-eight percent this year. The company says the projected rise is partly due to an increase in online shopping. 

UPS is the primary delivery company for many online retailers, most notably Amazon-dot-com. 
Last week, rival shipper FedEx projected it will handle 13 percent more shipments this holiday season. 


UPS said it will hire 55-thousand seasonal workers in the U-S to handle the increased shipments, about the same number it hired last year.
