Why do my packages take longer to arrive on certain dates?

Black Friday and Christmas are the peak times in the courier sector due to the high demand for transportation. Additionally, some holidays in the United States offer numerous deals, leading to a high volume of purchases.

When sales increase, so does the demand for transportation. This increase during the year-end season and some holidays leads to higher package traffic, flight shortages, and extended delivery times.

Despite all the efforts EPS makes each year to handle this increased demand, we still rely on the entire supply chain of the cargo transportation industry: the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), ground carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL), and airlines to get your gifts to you during the holiday season.

Therefore, we recommend planning your purchases and making them in advance to ensure timely delivery.
