FedEx projects it will be delivering 100 million more packages this holiday season than in 2019 and was expecting this past Monday to be the busiest day ever.

"We've seen a lot of people actually starting their Christmas shopping in the month of October, which is fundamentally different than we have seen traditionally in the past," Ryan Kelly, FedEx vice president of global e-commerce, told CNBC. "What you see is a lot of messaging about shop and ship early, pulling sales forward, pulling promotions forward. A lot of retailers have really leaned into that this year."
