Still Waiting for Christmas Deliveries? Blame Online Shopping Surge

If you’re still waiting for holiday gifts to arrive, you’re not alone. The surge in online shopping this year has left many companies unable to deliver, literally.

According to the latest report from the Wall Street Journal, Amazon, Kohl’s, Wal-Mart, Groupon, and possibly many others, have failed to deliver gifts on time for the holidays. Naturally, UPS blamed Amazon for not having packages prepared on time, while Amazon faulted UPS for being late on deliveries. To keep customers happy, Amazon is offering $20 gift certificates and refunding shipping orders.
