UPS:  Private mailboxes provide safe, secure place for mail and packages

With the UPS Store's personal mailbox services, there's no need to wait at home for a package delivery or risk having valuable shipments left on the doorstep.

The UPS Store can receive packages from any carrier and hold them in a secure location for pickup at the customer's convenience. As an additional advantage, mailbox holders have the option to receive notifications via email or text  alerting them that their packages have been received, eliminating unnecessary trips to the center. For small business owners, The UPS Store provides an actual street address for their businesses, which conveys a more professional touch, and if they're running a business out of their home, they don't have to give out their home address.

“Our 24-hour access mailbox services are a convenience that more general and small business consumers are discovering,” said Ed O'Brien, local The UPS Store owner. “They like the fact that we provide them with a street address, not a P.O. box, as well as the option to receive an email or a text alert when they have a package waiting.”

Other mailbox service options include mail holding and mail forwarding. The UPS Store will hold packages in a secure location for pickup at the customer's convenience or forward them.

In addition to domestic and international shipping, The UPS Store offers full-service packaging; digital printing and online printing; black-and-white and color copies; document finishing (binding, laminating, etc.); printing services (business cards, letterhead, rubber stamps, etc.); notary; freight shipping for large items (furniture, artwork, etc.); select postal services; office and packaging supplies; and more.

The UPS Store at 18766 John J. Williams Highway is offering customers discounts for 6- and 12-month mailbox rental agreements. Call 302-360-0264.
