Excerpt:

Shippers UPS and FedEx, which together are handling the bulk of holiday package deliveries, each claims its accuracy on shipments is in the high-90s percentile, and both say they have been preparing all year for the record holiday onslaught. UPS expects to ship a record 18 million packages on its peak day Friday. FedEx projects a daily high of 4.5 million packages just before Christmas; last year's peak day was slightly more than 4 million packages.

"A lot more people are shopping online, and someone needs to ship it all," FedEx spokeswoman Carla Boyd said. "It's always challenging, but that's what we're in business to do."
