The efforts to complete Christmas deliveries reflect the increasing importance of online orders as a source of holiday gifts -- and the extreme time-sensitivity of those shipments. It said “heavier than planned last-minute shipment volumes” also added to the delays. In 2013, a late e-commerce surge converged with winter weather to leave UPS unable to meet its on-time promises, triggering an avalanche of social-media complaints. [/QUOTE]
