UPS or United Parcel Service

[Anthonysg0113]

It's like now KFC is and always was Kentucky Fried Chicken. But to a generation was only known as the acronym. They tried to hide the fact for years all their food was fried. Didn't scare one person away!

"UPS" is simply an acronym for the full name and a trademark in its logo form.

Sorry but no.
UPS is the name change effective in 2003.
We had to go to a 2 hour meeting when it happened explaining why it was being done.

What was the corporate explanation?

What was the corporate explanation?

Because UPS was changing from small package to a Logistics company - in essence.

Was there a lot of resistance from the partners to the name change?

There was a thread earlier that used "United Parcel Service" and someone on the street used the term as well.
Living in the Corporate world before retirement, I had not heard the term "United Parcel Service".

The Corporation name is UPS.

Does anyone in the Small Package operations still use "United Parcel Service"?

You running out of ideas? This is one dumb thread sir,, time for a hobbie

He may be the @Ghost in the Machine.

He was talking down to me. He got the answer he deserved.

I believe that if you understand them, they are talking down to your level.

 

[Catatonic]

Twice, I think.

No, that was @Dave.

Tell the truth now ---its because you were all a bunch of "YES" men-- otherwise you wouldn't be in the Ivory Tower.

No one asked us to even be able to say "YES".
