• Consumer rewards program launched for deliveries to UPS Access Point® locations
• Eligible shipments earn consumers rewards valued at up to $20

Holiday parties. Shopping. Hiding elves. UPS (NYSE: UPS) understands that the most wonderful time of the year may also be your busiest.

For that reason, the company is dangling a carrot – no, not the one on a snowman’s nose, more like rewards valued at up to $20 – to encourage U.S. consumers to try alternate delivery sites. Known as UPS Access Point® locations, they include nearly 9,000 pick-up locations, including The UPS Store® locations and local businesses across the U.S. – such as neighborhood delis, dry cleaners and flower shops. Shoppers can pick up deliveries when convenient to their schedules for no additional fee.

UPS® (NYSE: UPS), a global logistics provider and leading advocate for global trade, applauds the U.S., Canada, and Mexico for modernizing a pact that is vital to all three economies. The US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) brings the trilateral agreement into the 21st century with provisions that will boost economic growth and promote job creation.

“The new USMCA will help to take time, cost and complexity out of trade between the United States, Mexico and Canada,” said David Abney, Chairman and CEO of UPS. “Specifically, the agreement will significantly improve customs regulations, spur the growth of e-commerce through new digital trade rules and support the participation of more small businesses in regional and global supply chains.”

UPS has been a vocal supporter of modernizing the North America trade regime and bringing it into the 21st-century. We urge the three countries to work diligently and quickly through their ratification processes. UPS will provide any support needed as governments develop their implementing regulations.

UPS is pleased that we have reached handshake agreements (Tentative Agreement, or “TA”) with Teamsters Locals 705 and 710. These are balanced agreements that meet the needs of both sides, and should be ratified. The parties have agreed to contract extensions, and we expect ratification by Local 705 and 710 members in January.

UPS is committed to deliver dependable service through the peak holiday season, and beyond. With a ratified agreement already in place for both the UPS Small Package and Freight National Master Agreements, UPS is poised for continued growth supported by greater flexibility to meet the needs of its customers.
