UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced that U.S.-based The Michaels
Companies Inc. (NASDAQ: MIK) has joined the UPS Access Point
network. This collaboration adds more than 1,100 U.S. retail
locations to the UPS Access Point network, combining two of the
nation’s biggest brands to offer the convenience of one-stop
package pickup and pre-labeled drop-off services tailored for the
e-commerce era.
“For today’s busy consumer, this offers much-needed
convenience,” said Kevin Warren, UPS’s chief marketing officer. “We
are pleased to give consumers more choice and control over package
deliveries by adding Access Point locations at their neighborhood
Michaels store.”
For Michaels, this partnership provides the busiest of creative
enthusiasts with an alternative and easy solution to ship and
receive items when best suited for their schedule. Through UPS
Access Point locations, customers are now able to have UPS packages
ship directly to a Michaels store using the UPS My Choice App, as
well as have the option to drop off pre-labeled shipments, all
while picking up their favorite arts and crafts supplies.
“At Michaels, we are continuously exploring new ways and
partners to make the omnichannel shopping experience easier and
more convenient for our customers,” said Matthew Rubin, senior vice
president of business development and growth with Michaels.
“As we focus our efforts on incorporating innovation into our
stores, this latest enhancement will provide our customers with a
practical and efficient solution to support their shipping
needs.”
With more than 40,000 UPS Access Point and 38,000 drop-box
locations around the world, UPS gives customers the global
advantage of an industry-leading network with more than 78,000
locations to pick up or drop off packages. Soon, more than 90
percent of U.S. consumers will find a UPS Access Point location
within five miles of home, offering an extraordinary level of
convenience and flexibility.
The UPS My Choice for home solution, used by more than 60
million consumers throughout the world, and the new UPS My Choice
for business platform pair seamlessly with UPS Access Point
locations offering consumers and businesses with enhanced control
and convenience.
The two companies began a pilot program in Austin late last year
and added Atlanta and Dallas as test markets in 2019. The
partnership with Michaels marks an exciting new era for the UPS
Access Point program.
“Until now, the UPS Access Point locations largely have been
local businesses and The UPS Store locations. With this
announcement, UPS broadens our industry-leading services to offer
an unparalleled network of secure choices to busy shoppers,” Warren
said. “Consumers now have access to a vast and robust suite of
options that include the UPS Access Point locations at Michaels
stores, neighborhood businesses, lockers and The UPS Store
franchise.”
