UPS is calling next week its "Peak Week," and on Wednesday, December 22nd, it says it will deliver 24 million packages from holiday gift-givers and online retailers, 60 percent more than usual delivery volumes. It says the 9 million extra packages it will deliver on December 22 represents more business than its largest competitor handles on an average day.
UPS added roughly 50,000 seasonal workers to handle the surge in package deliveries.
