The UPS Store Helps Eliminate Stress from the Holiday To-Do List
December 01 2016 - 11:00AM
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and The UPS Store is on a
mission to keep the holidays merry and bright by giving consumers a
few less things to worry about. Whether it’s tapping into The UPS
Store® Certified Packing Experts® know-how or routing gifts to a
secure pick-up location, the company’s more than 4,500 locations
are prepared to make your holiday gift-giving and receiving a
little easier.
“We know a lot of care goes into finding the perfect gift during
the holiday season, and our Certified Packing Experts take the same
level of care in packing and shipping each gift so you don’t have
to,” said Judy Milner, vice president of operations at The UPS
Store. “That’s how holidays are made easy at The UPS Store – we
take care of the details to shorten your to-do list and make your
holidays hassle-free.”
In a recent survey*, The UPS Store found nearly 90 percent of
consumers say receiving an unexpected, shipped holiday package
excites them. Here are four ways The UPS Store can help gift givers
deliver excitement without worry.
1. Certified Packing Experts
Gifts that take a ride on Santa’s sleigh should arrive as you
intend them to: intact and ready to bring holiday cheer. That’s why
associates at The UPS Store are trained in packing techniques to
fit every gift – whether it’s oddly shaped, freshly baked, wrapped
or unwrapped.
2. Pack & Ship Guarantee
Customers can revel in the holidays and enjoy some peace of mind
after using the packing and shipping services from The UPS Store.
With the Pack & Ship Guarantee, if an item is lost or damaged
during transit, the customer will be reimbursed for the item’s
value as well as the cost for packing materials, service and
shipping.**
3. Secure Delivery Locations
The holidays are the perfect time to take advantage of The UPS
Store mailbox services. A mailbox allows customers to send all
gifts to a safe and secure location until they are ready to pick
them up.
4. Convenience
Customers can also sign up for UPS My Choice® notifications, to
receive a text or email alert letting them know when their package
is scheduled to be delivered and allowing them to reroute packages
to their neighborhood The UPS Store location.
5. Ensure Gifts Arrive Before Santa Does
Timing is key when it comes to holiday shipping. Mark the
calendar with these shipping deadlines so all gifts arrive just as
those sleigh bells are ringing.

via:
- UPS Next Day Air® by Thursday, December 22

With holiday shipping made easy, there’s more time for holiday
fun. Participate in The UPS Store® Five Days of Giftmas on Facebook
December 12-16. Tune into Facebook Live to receive clues about each
