U.S. holiday sales set to break records in surprise boon to retail - Reuters

United Parcel Service Inc, the world’s largest package delivery company, said on Wednesday it was on track to return a record number of packages this holiday, having handled more than 1 million returns to retailers daily in December.

That pace is expected to continue into early January, UPS said, and would likely peak at 1.4 million on Jan. 3, which would be a fifth consecutive annual record, up 8 percent from this year.

Makes sense. With those 70 hour checks, lots of upsers spent big this holiday.

Hopefully they all adjusted their W-4's ahead of time to give them even more to spend.

There were guys here who had more taken out in taxes than I generally take home on a weekly basis.
