Will You Depend on USPS to Ship Your Holiday Packages?

The United States Postal Service is expecting record use of its services.

According to a press release, the United States Postal Service is projecting it will ship about 365 million packages this holiday season.

USPS made the announcement earlier this month, which is a 20 percent increase from business volumn during the 2011 holiday season.Β 

The agency believes the increase is due to customers embracing online shopping. USPS also projects about 18 billion cards, letters and packages will be delivered through New Year's Eve.
