Seeing more last-minute upgrades and reships this week?

Valentine’s Day demand for flowers, chocolates, jewelry, watches, and other gifts quietly turns February into a mini peak for parcel networks. Our latest post looks at how teams use that week as a built-in test of their carrier and service level rules, rather than just firefighting.

A two week surge in time sensitive gifts tightens capacity across the same hubs and last mile routes your shipments use. Here is how teams use it to tune carrier mix and service levels.

This week’s Parcel Drop looks beyond December 25.

Did you know the parcel surge does not end when the holidays do? As returns move back through the system, January becomes one of the busiest months of the year for parcel networks.

Reverse logistics creates irregular flows, added handling, and operational complexity that many networks must absorb immediately after peak season. More on this coming soon.

This week’s Parcel Drop brings back Owney the Mail Dog.

In 1895, as part of a Tacoma campaign, Owney traveled around the world with U.S. mailbags. He crossed continents by train and steamship and returned home 113 days later.

A global journey. Dozens of tags. One unforgettable pup.

This week’s Parcel Drop goes back to 1963.

The ZIP Code was introduced by the United States Post Office.
Five digits helped organize addresses and speed up sorting.

To spread the word, the Post Office created Mr. ZIP.
He showed up in post offices, TV spots, and mailboxes across the country.
