We have all been there – you get home after a long day to find one of those “sorry we missed you” notices stuck on the door. And if you’re anything like me, rearranging my busy schedule or trying to find the time to go pick up the package does not always make it on my “to-do” list. Figuring out there just aren’t enough hours in the day is a lesson I have learned pretty quickly and finding ways to “up” the convenience factor has gone from convenient to critical.

At least 1 million other people have joined me and know the enjoyment of a service that tells me when a package is on the way. UPS My Choice sends a free delivery alert (phone, text or email) the day before it arrives.

It’s that time of year – yes, holiday shopping season! Whether it’s for you or for family and friends, online retailers are offering spectacular deals – especially on Cyber Monday. This online shopping “holiday” made its debut on Nov. 28, 2005,  and has quickly become one of the largest online shopping days of the year.

According to comScore, the 2010 U.S. online holiday shopping season brought in a record-breaking $32.6 billion in retail spending. This marked a 12 percent increase over 2009. Cyber Monday made history when consumer spending exceeded $1 billion for the first time in a single day. As internet commerce continues to grow, package delivery is becoming an important element of the full customer experience.

After the leftovers from Thanksgiving are eaten and family and friends have traveled back home, maybe it’s time for a little online shopping. But while you’re online, make sure you also sign up for UPS My Choice^SM, a new service that places greater control over home delivery in the hands of consumers.

Last month, we introduced an innovative service called UPS My Choice^SM. For online shoppers, it offers a new level of control and flexibility for shipments delivered to residential addresses, such as the option to reschedule a delivery when you’re not home or redirect a delivery to another address or your local The UPS Store.

As with most new offerings, we’ve had questions pop up from customers about using UPS My Choice. Here are the top questions along with our answers and advice for using the service. We even included a video at the end of this post.

It’s finally here – and in plenty of time for the holidays. Excitement is building around the launch of UPS My Choice^SM, a new transformational service that is available today to customers across the United States.

UPS My Choice is a new service that places greater control over home delivery in the hands of the consumer. And, if that doesn’t get you excited, what if I told you that you could receive delivery alerts, specific delivery time frames, reroute options and much more? If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, would you like the ability to know a day in advance when your packages will arrive within a four-hour approximate delivery time? Or what about a two-hour confirmed delivery window?
