Have you noticed golf carts zipping down your street? That's UPS delivering holiday packages - Tampa Bay Times
"UPS uses golf carts for deliveries where it makes the most sense — typically in some fast-growth residential communities," said Jennifer Cook, a spokeswoman with UPS. "The environmental and economic benefits are obvious: reduced noise and fuel conservation and in many cases, earlier residential deliveries."
In the age of Amazon, drones and one-hour delivery, the move to use golf carts is a "pretty progressive" for UPS, says retail analyst Jeff Green.
"It's very smart. It's got to be more cost-effective and a way to deliver packages faster through a more targeted geography," Green said.
