Today and the other Mondays could potentially be the busiest days in the history of Fe- dEx,” Fitzgerald said. “There is no lack of demand across this global e-commerce market and especially during peak when demand goes so high, it’s really just a matter of the capacity that might have gone to a customer like that (Amazon) is then open for other customers who are experiencing this surge in demand during the holidays,” Fitzgerald said.Fitzgerald said peak season requires “planning and execution at near maximum capacity.
