Most of it is from a record breaking BFCM. People shopped online instead of going to the mall. Network is over capacity. UPS is hit the hardest because they took new business in without having the capacity. Capacity goes like this. Carrier has X capacity. At 2X capacity stuff starts to fall apart which is your normal BFCM. We’re at 8X capacity. Stuff is just sitting in trailers and probably won’t get handled till next week that’s if you can get your stuff picked up.
The FedEx depot near me had stuff sitting in trailers for 3+ weeks, most of the summer. To the point that you have to call the seller and ask them to extend the return window in case your thing arrives damaged, because you haven't even seen it yet but the normal return period is about to close...
I can't imagine what they're going through right now.
