I have been hearing about this new service from UPS to help easily manage all your packages and it has been on my list to check out for weeks.
Well now that we are down to the wire to get all our holiday items, I thought I better get this posted. You can register for a new service from UPS called UPS My Choice that allows you to completely manage everything.
You can electronically manage if shipments are left without signatures, get alerts when boxes are supposed to be delivered and you can even reroute packages if you have a change of plans!
Now I get a lot of packages because I try to order online as often as possible. Last Friday we had an important package coming and we paid for 2 day shipping. Of course they delivered it in the 25 min span of time I was not home and we missed the thing. I can’t tell you how annoyed I was because we didn’t get a second attempt at delivery until Monday- so it arrived 4 days later than I wanted.
Anyway, I called UPS and they told me to get registered for this and it will handle everything for me. If you have any last minute packages coming to your home or if you just tend to order online you might want to check this out!
AND once you register you can print coupons for your local UPS store. That should come in handy for shipping off packages.
In the past, I have had UPS not dropoff a package while i was gone and i really wanted the package (computer). you can drive to the ups facility after 5pm (call first) and show them paper that says they attempted delivery. phone number of the facility is usually on this paper.
Yeah cathy I have done that I just couldn’t do it this time :). I think this service is going to be a perfect answer though.
Some of the services are free but if you want to reroute the pkg there is a charge.
