UPS Unveiling "My Choice" Delivery-Notification Service

{Kentucky}...UPS is unveiling a delivery-notification service called My Choice. The basic free membership service allows package recipients to be notified of incoming shipments and provides an approximate arrival time the night before delivery. Delivery alerts will be offered through e-mail, text or phone calls. For packages that require signatures, members can electronically sign for packages on their computers or mobile phones. For $5 per package, members can also choose to re-route the package to another address or a UPS Store in real time rather than waiting to get a “delivery attempt” notice on your door. A premium version of the service costs $40 per year and provides delivery alerts, a delivery planner and the ability to leave driver special instructions. Premium members also are offered a two-hour delivery window, compared with the four-hour window offered for free. The service starts October 3rd, but customers can register before then at www.ups.com/mychoice/pr.
