WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - The pandemic has boosted online shopping this year, but with Christmas around the corner, the packing and shipping industries are even busier.
The United States Postal Service says we’re seeing a historic increase in shipping.
Officials say not being able to gather means more packages are being sent through the mail.
At the Watertown post office, the line was out the door Tuesday.
Even with a record amount of work to be done, the USPS says it has gotten used to increasingly busy holiday seasons.
