The 2015 shipping season was the biggest ever, with 524 million packages delivered by the United States Postal Service (USPS) alone, according to USPS. The upcoming 2016 holiday season is expected to again set new records.

Alan Hopper, Director of Business Development at ProShip, talks to Retail TouchPoints about proper shipping and delivery planning for the upcoming 2016 holiday season.
