Online shopping still gaining ground but holiday shipping problems reveal growing pains

Americans waited until the last minute to buy holiday gifts, but retailers weren’t prepared for the spike.
Heavy spending in the final days of the mostly lacklustre season sent sales up 3.5 per cent between Nov. 1 and Tuesday, according to MasterCard Advisors SpendingPulse, which tracks payments but doesn’t give dollar figures.
Online shopping led the uptick, with spending up 10 per cent to $38. 91 billion between Nov. 2 and Sunday, research firm comScore said.
