CBS 2?s Mai Martinez has a look at some of the workers making Christmas deliveries today.
With the Christmas clock winding down, theres no time to spare and U.S. Postal Service workers are working hard to make sure letters and packages arrive at their Christmas destinations in time for Christmas.
Thats the most important thing seeing the joy and the satisfaction of our customers, said letter carrier James Hundley.
And Postal workers arent the only ones busy making those last minute Christmas deliveries. A spokesperson for FedEx says by the end of today, their workers will have delivered about 275 million packages this holiday season.
UPS workers are also in the mix, delivering an estimated 132-million packages in the past week alone.
But the U.S. postal service has them both beat.
We estimated that we would be handling about 420 million packages this holiday season, said Mark Reynolds of the U.S. Postal Service.
And that takes some planning.
Bravo USPS workers
