(Atlanta, GA, Tuesday, November 19, 2019) – Holiday shopping. Wrapping gifts. Sending presents. The most wonderful time of the year may also be your busiest.

For this reason, UPS is offering rewards with a total value of up to $35 to encourage U.S. consumers to try alternate delivery sites, bringing more choice, control and convenience to package delivery. Their UPS Access Point network consists of nearly 15,000 pick-up locations, including local businesses across the U.S. – such as neighborhood delis, dry cleaners and flower shops – as well as many CVS and Michaels store locations.

To participate, consumers must be enrolled in UPS My Choice, a free service enabling more than 60 million current members worldwide to manage their deliveries.

Steve Gaut, Delivery Location Expert, has suggestions for consumers delivering gifts this holiday season.

SOUNDBITE #1:

BUSY CONSUMERS NEED CHOICE, CONTROL AND CONVENIENCE IN THE DELIVERY PROCESS, ESPECIALLY DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON. WITH OUR EXPANDED ACCESS POINT NETWORK, THEY GET PEACE OF MIND, BY NOT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT PACKAGE SECURITY … OR WAITING FOR A DELIVERY.

SOUNDBITE #2:

MANY ONLINE SHOPPERS WANT AN ALTERNATE TO HOME DELIVERY.   SO, WE’VE EXPANDED OUR ACCESS POINT NETWORK OF ALTERNATE DELIVERY LOCATIONS TO INCLUDE ALL UPS… CVS… AND MICHAELS STORES, PLUS THOUSANDS OF INDEPENDENT RETAILERS.  CONSUMERS CAN PICKUP OR DROP-OFF AT THESE STORES AND THEY CAN CHECK OUR WEBSITE TO FIND THE NEAREST LOCATION.
