FedEx, UPS face 'shipageddon' with potential shortfall of 7 million packages a day over holiday season - NBC News
“If you're shopping out there, we really encourage you to shop and ship early and really that means now,” said a FedEx executive.
With the holiday season rapidly approaching, delivery services are bracing for what some are calling “shipageddon," with a potential shortfall of as many as 7 million packages a day.
UPS and FedEx have told some of their shippers that they have already reached most of their capacity, according to The Wall Street Journal.
That shortage could mean up to 7 million packages a day between Thanksgiving and Christmas could face delays, Satish Jindel, president of ShipMatrix software and consulting provider, told NBC News.
