People across the country got a look at what package delivery will look like if the Postal Service is privatized after both UPS and FedEx ruined Christmas by being unable to delivery holiday packages on time.
UPS admitted that some children would not receive their Christmas gifts on time because their system could not keep up with demand, We understand the importance of your holiday shipments. However, the volume of air packages in our system exceeded the capacity of our network. A spokesperson for Fed Ex said, Were sorry that there could be delays and were contacting affected customers who have shipments available for pickup. Fed Exs solution was to make customers who paid for Christmas delivery go to their local Fed Ex store and pick up their packages on Christmas Day. If you didnt have a local Fed Ex store, you were out of luck.
Things were so bad at Fed Ex that local depots were overwhelmed with packages to the point where they didnt attempt to make deliveries. The AP confirmed that the delivery issues impacted Alabama, California, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
