The holiday shopping and shipping season is in full swing. According to preliminary reports, Cyber Monday 2010 broke records with online spending surpassing $1 billion. That’s a lot of packages being shipped from retailers to homes.

Life can be hectic this time of year … people are juggling work, home and family responsibilities. Plus there’s the holiday shopping and parties. As we’ve seen from random tweets on Twitter, waiting around for a package can be a challenge.

Looking for an easy, convenient option? Consider getting a mailbox at The UPS Store.

• Your local The UPS Store location will accept packages from all carriers — that includes FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service.
• The UPS Store staff will sign for your packages so you’ll never miss a delivery.
• You can opt to receive text or e-mail notification when you have a package waiting, eliminating unnecessary trips.
• If sending received items off to family and friends, handle your outbound shipping on the same errand.
• Out of town? The UPS Store will hold your packages for you or forward them to you.
• There’s over 4,300 The UPS Store locations.

How’s that for logistics?

Happy shopping … and happy shipping!
