The UPS Store Aims to Make the Holidays a Little Easier
17 Novembre 2015 - 5:00PM
The holidays come with a long “to-do” list but packing gifts and
hauling luggage shouldn’t be part of it. At more than
4,500 locations across the U.S., The UPS Store Certified Packing
Experts® and the Pack & Ship Guarantee* can help deliver
“Holidays Made Easy.”
“At The UPS Store, our goal is always to help our
customers solve their packing, shipping, printing, and business
service problems,” said Michelle Van Slyke, senior vice president
of marketing and sales at The UPS Store. “This time of year,
solving those problems might mean shipping fragile or oversized
gifts, or providing a secure mailbox where customers can receive
all of their online orders. Whatever the need, we’re here to make
the holidays a little easier.”
With the Pack and Ship Guarantee, if an item is somehow lost or
damaged the customer will be reimbursed the cost of packaging
materials and service, as well as shipping costs. For those who
prefer to pack gifts themselves, The UPS Store offers several
tips:
- Take batteries out of items before shipping.
- Use a sturdy new box with secure corners to provide additional
protection. Do not use old boxes or gift boxes to ship gifts, or
string or wrapping paper on the outside of the package.
- Use at least two inches of packaging material on each side of
your item.
- Make sure the sender’s and recipient’s addresses are visible
both inside and outside of the package.
- Use packing tape on all package seams. Do not use masking,
cellophane or duct tape.
- December 23rd is the last day to ship all UPS Next Day Air®
packages in time for Christmas Day (delivery on Thursday, Dec.
24).

In addition to packing help, The UPS Store® luggage box, luggage
shipping and mailboxes can also help make the holidays a little
easier. Instead of having the stress and physical toll of lugging
around your suitcase, The UPS Store can ship it for you!
Worried about doorstep theft while travelling or at
work? The UPS Store mailbox option provides a secure location
to receive holiday gifts, packages and other deliveries.
This holiday season, The UPS Store is partnering with the Toys
for Tots Literacy Program, which supplies books to less fortunate
children providing an opportunity to succeed in school and
beyond. During the month of December, The UPS Store will make
a one dollar donation on behalf of anyone who shares their favorite
children’s book on social media using #ReadItForward up to
$50,000.
