Yep, it was the postal service. I thought it might be something like Fed Ex, but no.
Guess it must be getting to be the really, really busy season for UPS, eh?
(Not that things are ever slow there, I'm sure.)
Oh yes it is---this is our busiest part of the year obviously. And with online purchasing at a all time high, it just puts that much more volume into our system and lots more stops/pkgs for the drivers. We have already worked 15 helpers into our schedule this week and that should double either this week or next. I ,with the help of an assistant brought in from our district, am coordinating all of the helpers, from setting meet points and times, to issuing uniforms. I worked about 3 hrs each morning this week in addition to my usual 5pm-10pm evening shift, which will only get longer as we get closer to Christmas(hence Christmas almost becoming my not so favorite holiday, sadly, as the spirit is pretty much tapped by Christmas Eve).
By the way, if anyone has any questions about any UPS deliveries you may be getting, or about tracking a pkg, please feel free to PM me and I will see what I can find out for you---I may not be able to find the answer to everything, but I will certainly put forth effort or point you in another direction.
