FedEx Corp. is forecasting a 10% increase in holiday package deliveries over a previous record peak season in 2020 as consumers remain hooked on internet shopping even as stores reopen from last year’s lockdowns.
The volume will be 100 million more packages compared with pre-pandemic levels in the 2019 peak season, the courier said Thursday in an emailed statement. Peak season kicks off at the end of November following the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday.
