Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the nation’s leading delivery services -USPS, UPS, and FedEx- can deliver as much as 50 million packages a day.

However, delivery rates seem to shorten as customers expect their packages to arrive faster. Nearly one third of American customers fear not receiving their gifts on time, and indeed, around 8% of packages handled by FedEx and UPS during the 2018 holiday season were delayed, resulting in approximately 98 million late deliveries nationwide. With only a few days before the holidays kick off, Covington Barcoding partners with Zebra Technologies to provide the best tools in preventing inaccurate and late order fulfillment.
