Amazon, USPS ship out Cyber Monday packages and prepare for Christmas rush [Video]

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — It’s that time of year again when e-commerce companies see huge numbers of packages to ship for the holiday season.

Amazon reported its busiest Black Friday ever this year and expects similar results from Cyber Monday.

Arizona’s Family went to one of Amazon’s 18 Phoenix delivery stations where workers are shipping out an estimated 80,000 packages following Cyber Monday.

The online retail giant touts local businesses and its “same day” filter, which allows last-minute shoppers to buy gifts up to the Christmas holiday.

USPS also says it’s prepared for the Christmas rush.

Postal workers have delivered 1.7 million packages since Thanksgiving—a holiday that came later this year with shipping deadlines now right around the corner.
