UPS and FedEx delivering Christmas packages late
Are you still waiting for some of your Christmas gifts to be delivered? If they were shipped by UPS you may get your packages today or tomorrow. UPS is blaming high volume of packages and bad weather for the delay. FedEx is claiming it has only “isolated” incidents of packages not being delivered on time.
