"The packages are up to the ceiling" in Philadelphia, local American Postal Workers Union president Nick Casselli told CNN. There are so many incoming packages the postal workers can't process them in time, Casselli said. But it's not just Philadelphia that's dealing with the historic volume of packages. Postal workers and union presidents say small backlogs and delays aren't uncommon during the holiday season. Cash said on top of all their normal USPS mail and packages, FedEx is dropping off over 800 packages a day at the mail carrier station in western New York.
