• 89 Million Flowers Flow Through UPS’s Global Logistics Network
  
• Last Minute Cupids Can Ship as Late Monday, February 13th

Business is blooming leading up to Valentine’s Day. To get flowers, sweets and gifts to consumers and businesses by Feb. 14 it takes a global logistics network helping Cupid. This year, it’s estimated that UPS (NYSE:UPS) will deliver more than 89 million flowers – enough to fill 64 767 Boeing cargo aircraft – to loved ones around the world.

On May 9, 2014, plaintiff contracted with UPS over the Internet to have UPS transport four packages containing Apple iPhone 5S cellular telephones from New York to Israel to be delivered to a recipient with an address in Kiriat Malachi, Israel. (Pacecho Dec’l ¶¶ 5, 6).

UPS transported the shipment to Israel without incident in May 2014. However, upon arrival at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv, the shipment was placed under a hold by Israeli Customs. Israeli Customs would not clear and release the shipment until required shipping charges, customs duties, taxes, fees, and surcharges were paid. An attorney for plaintiff contacted UPS in late June 2014 regarding the delayed delivery. Plaintiff had not paid any of the required shipping charges, duties, taxes, or fees at that time.

After several email exchanges with various UPS agents, plaintiff made the required payments on August 18 and 19, 2014. Israeli Customs cleared and released the shipment on August 31, 2014. UPS delivered the shipment to the intended recipient on September 1, 2014.
