UPS makes shipping and delivery more convenient

7/28/2015

Atlanta - UPS is expanding the number of locations customers can pick up and drop off packages. The company is expanding the number of cities it offers the UPS Access Point network, which offers package pickup and drop-off at local businesses, primarily neighborhood convenience and grocery stores, dry cleaners and delicatessens with extended evening and weekend hours.



All 4,400 The UPS Store locations throughout the U.S. are also part of the network. UPS is already offering UPS Access Point locations in Boston, Chicago, New York City, and the Washington, D.C. and San Francisco metropolitan areas. Later this summer, consumers will be able to pick up or return packages at UPS Access Point locations in approximately 100 cities around the U.S. including Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Seattle, St. Louis and Tampa, Florida.



The delivery solution helps consumers receive their e-commerce orders following the first home delivery attempt. When unable to make a delivery at a consumer’s residence, UPS drivers will leave a note indicating when and where the package will be available for pickup at a UPS Access Point location. Consumers will need a photo identification to obtain their packages.



By the end of 2015, UPS expects to have more than 8,000 UPS Access Point locations in the U.S. and 22,000 globally.
