FedEx is giving in to e-commerce and will begin delivering packages seven days a week starting 2020.

The parcel delivery company already delivers seven days a week during the holiday season, but will now expand the practice to be year round for a majority of the U.S. The company took to twitter for its announcement, saying that shoppers don't run on business days - they run every day.

Despite FedEx expecting the number of packages sent daily to double in the coming years, it suggests that moving to seven day delivery will help it keep up with the demands of online retailers and shoppers.
