The U.S. Postal Service delivered 28.2 million packages Monday, breaking its own record for most parcels ever delivered in a single day in its 237-year history.

The number of packages slid past the record the USPS set a week before, spokeswoman Sarah Ninivaggi said. On Dec. 15, USPS delivered 27.9 million packages, she said.

"The times are changing," Ninivaggi said. "You can see how much people are going online to buy their Christmas gifts."

Monday's deliveries marked a 10.5% increase over the same day last year and 9.5% higher than the busiest day in the 2013 holiday season.
