My UPS driver was telling me yesterday that today is their “peak” and they are going to be pushing through as much as they possibly can. I can’t imagine doing his job.

Thanks, Mike for all you do! (I know he can’t see this but I still wanted to give him a shout-out).

It was pointed out on NSFE and bears repeating here, that many post offices close early on 12/24, apparently some as early as noon. So plan accordingly if you are shipping out that day.

Our local UPS driver has been on his own this year. I don’t think I have ever seen that before. They always have temp help in Dec.

Wondering if anyone else has noticed this or maybe our UPS route slowed down over the years with 10 smile vans seen every day in our little 110 house development.
