UPS TO DELIVER ON SATURDAY

From the link above: "The expanded drop-off schedule, announced Monday, means UPS to go head-to-head with FedEx and the United States Postal Service. Both of those companies already deliver packages to people's homes on the weekend.

The change is "one of the largest in the company's 109-year-history," a UPS statement said."

Like any business, they have to remain competitive. Perhaps with Sat deliveries they;ll do a better job, they won't just automatically dump stuff off at those Access Points.

Being a prime member I have gotten many packages via UPS on Saturdays. Can't give you how far back, but is not that recent. Just had a USPS Sunday delivery last week. Was a younger kid, so I asked him if he was Part Time. He said "no, that he fills in on drive routes, and volunteers for weekends". I love prime, worth every penny for deliveries and the free 4k movies I watch.

UPS has always had Saturday delivery for their higher level services.

I'm assuming (although it doesn't state it in the article) that UPS Brown is what is getting Saturday service.

I was wondering the same thing. UPS has always delivered on Saturdays in my neck of the woods.

UPS has never delivered anywhere we live on Saturdays-

Pretty exciting - I feel kind of sorry for our UPS guy-I'm sure he really liked the week-ends off from this household !

Yippee-

And I think it's FedEx Home that doesn't deliver on Mondays but UPS does.

In my neck of the woods, the week-end UPS drivers are "part-timers."

FedEx makes deliveries 7 days a week in my county.

Will their prices go up as a result of this?

I've never seen a UPS truck on Saturdays. I'm a member of Prime and do have occasional Sunday delivers from USPS but not UPS. I'll be glad to see them deliver on Saturdays but feel sorry for the drivers if they don't get the weekend off.

It's about time. USPS has a contract with Amazon where I live and they come on Sundays too to deliver. They have damaged my packages, lost my packages, delivered my packages to neighbors and have said they delivered packages when I am home and I hav cameras to prove they did not come to my house.

I can only count on my regular UPS man for all other packages which I get on time and never damaged or missing.

Ths is good to know. At least packages won't be waiting at their facility all through the weekend when it arrives on Friday.......
