Postal Service adding branches in stores

Posted by | Oct 15, 2006 | |

In today’s shipping business, it’s easy to get your package to Singapore overnight if you’re willing to pay for it.
So being accessible to busy customers is the way to stand out.
FedEx partnered with Kinko’s to get into 24-hour stores. UPS teamed up with Mail Boxes Etc. and operates more than 5,600 locations worldwide.
Now, it’s the U.S. post office’s turn. The government isn’t planning to go 24/7, but it is trying to be more convenient. First it opened automated postal centers in some post office lobbies, and now it has licensed postal outlets inside retail stores.

UPS pushes envelope on downtown service

Posted by | Oct 12, 2006 | |

Starting late last month, UPS began cutting nearly one hour off its morning delivery time for overnight mail guaranteed to arrive in downtown Cleveland by 10:30 a.m.

So instead of an average arrival time of 9:45 a.m., packages delivered by UPS are being signed for, on average, at 8:50 a.m., said Tom Nolte, director of sales for the Northern Ohio district of UPS.

The expedited delivery targets three downtown ZIP codes and comes with no additional guarantee, but with no additional cost either. It’s the first such initiative throughout the UPS system, Nolte said, and it’s designed to capture more office business from places like banks, law firms and insurance companies that rely heavily on overnight correspondence.

If it works in Cleveland, it could be rolled out in other cities. UPS has added 13 part-time delivery personnel and redeployed six of its signature brown trucks to allow for earlier deliveries. But the process really begins at company hubs in Louisville, Ky., and Rockford, Ill., where packages destined for downtown Cleveland are sorted and packed inside igloo-shaped containers that conform to the insides of UPS cargo planes.
