UPS wants to ship packages in the metaverse - Atlanta Business Chronicle​

Get ready to see those big brown trucks rumbling down the virtual streets of the metaverse.

Atlanta-based shipping behemoth United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE: UPS) submitted several trademark filings to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that indicate it plans to join the metaverse. The filings are for goods and services including "non-fungible tokens" (NFTs); "virtual goods, namely, packages, parcels, [and] shipping labels;" and "virtual retail shipping."

The company submitted individual filings for "United Parcel Service," "UPS," "The UPS Store," and multiple logos.

The metaverse is a growing collection of interconnected virtual reality and digital platforms with online personas, real estate and businesses. People can log in and interact, similar to a multiplayer video game.

Delivering with orion already is the metaverse

Something just wrong about knocking on a fake door, to get a fake person to give a fake signature, in a fake neighborhood, and a fake universe... What won't be fake is the UPS standard harassment. I wonder if fake steward will fake like he cares?

Are they going to cut routes and use emergency conditions also

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

For once, when you tell them their numbers are fake, they'll have to agree... Or will they?

to be real though this is just to capture quick stock money just like the word "blockchain" a few years earlier where they really don't do anything at all with the underlying keyword

So, it's all smoke & mirrors?
