[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 1590109, member: 2193"] Plenty of information online about [URL='http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/bussol/browse/ups-access-point.html']UPS Access Points[/URL]. These have been used for more than 10 years at more than 11,000 locations in Europe but they are called Kiala (the name of the company UPS bought). One delivery attempt made by the driver and if the customer is not home and a signature is required (no DR option), the package is left at a nearby (within 1 mile) location that is open late and on the weekends (i.e. pharmacy, convenience store, etc.). Special Infonotice is left with details about where the package was left. Customer is happy because they get their package without having to go to the UPS Customer Center; driver is happy since its only one delivery attempt; shipper happy because their customer gets their delivery on first attempt); UPS is happy since it reduces send-agains. According to press release, there will be 20,000 Access Points in the US by the end of 2015 (including all The UPS Store locations). What's not to like - everyone wins with this option...and the competition has nothing like it. [/QUOTE]
