With many turning to online shopping for the holidays this year, some delivery services are being pushed to their limits.

, UPS instructed drivers across the country to temporarily stop collecting orders from six large retailers including GAP, Nike and Macy’s after too many packages exceeded delivery capacity.A UPS driver carries a package in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago, Nov. 30, 2020.

“They told these large shippers months ahead of time that, you know, this is your allocation for certain days for certain weeks,” reported the Wall Street Journal's Paul Ziobro. “But if you’re going to go over that we’re not going to pick up your packages.” To help with the demand, both UPS and FedEx have asked retailers to spread out promotions and consider processing orders over the weekend as online orders soar during the pandemic where millions of people across the country are turning to online shopping for household essentials, which could mean a surplus of seven million packages being shipped per day between now and Christmas, according to ShipMatrix, a company that analyzes the shipping industry.

"It is very difficult for these carriers to expand their network in such a short time to handle such a huge surge in volume of essential items," Satish Jindel, president of ShipMatrix, told"

My girl works for FedEx and she is working easily 6 days a week 16-20 hours a day

Pfizer Scientists worked 7 days a week for 8 months to create vaccines. They developed supply chains in parallel to have tens of millions of doses ready on Day 1. Couldn't the FDA with 17000 specialists monitor the results all along to say 'yes' or 'no' the same day it was asked?

Huh. It’s almost as if private corporations are unable to do the job the USPS has been doing so efficiently & effectively for over a century. Then again, if UPS & other corporate delivery services were at all capable, they wouldn’t rely on USPS to deliver Xmas packages on time.

Honestly in a pandemic who is surprised by the overwhelming delivery 🚚 requests during the holidays? I just hope retailers are being honest and transparent about expected delivery dates & times

How are you paying for your HOLIDAY presents? I think paying in installments for HOLIDAY gifts might lead to increased debt bc of a lack of job security in the COVID19 world. HAPPY HOLIDAYS RegulateBNPL

No better time to own a van and be willing to drive things around all day.

Oh,they got more vehicles than most and many are electric, they are complaining they cannot drive one of them so it has turned into 'PUSHING THEIR LIMITS'. Actual problem is they are short loaders at the Hub and they want it loaded for their route.

When you take a COVID Vaccine Shot you should get a badge to validate it.

Go support your local businesses instead. Amazon doesn’t need to get richer.

Just go into stores to shop! It's not that hard! 🙄
