It’s crunch time for those who’ve got a holiday gift to send overseas.

Today is the last day to ensure packages are shipped in time for Christmas.

Purolator and UPS expect it to be the busiest shipping day of the year.

Purolator is also donating up for $40,000 to Food Banks Canada by donating 50-cents for every non-account shipment sent through its network.
