Momentous milestone marked with
Mary Kay and Mrs. Claus
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Dec. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - (NYSE:UPS) UPS
My Choice®, a service
that allows members to conveniently control and manage incoming UPS
packages, crossed the one million subscriber mark in Canada less than three years after it was
introduced.
"This means over one million people don't have to wait at the
doorstep, trek to the depot or count on others to sign for a
package," said Nicolas Dorget, vice
president, strategic alliances, UPS Canada. "Consumers are clearly
embracing the ease this brings to their deliveries."
UPS My Choice free service,
allows members to receive an email or text message the day before a
shipment arrives. If he or she won't be home, packages can be
rerouted, with options ranging from their workplace to a nearby UPS
Access Point® location where they can pick up their
package on the same day as the scheduled delivery. Members can also
provide instructions for their UPS driver on where to leave their
packages, such as the back porch or side of the garage.
To celebrate the service milestone, UPS Canada partnered with
cosmetics giant Mary Kay Cosmetics Ltd. to throw a holiday-themed
event featuring Mrs. Claus in Toronto. Set up on the corner of Front Street
and Lower Simcoe on November 9, and
again at the Toronto Christmas Market on November 16, a UPS package car was transformed
into Mrs. Claus' den with festive décor and some of her favourite
things. The famous gift giver took pictures with passersby and
handed out a few of her preferred Mary
Kay products, including mascara and an eye makeup remover.

"Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants rely on UPS for
fast-and-efficient service," said Jeff
Grigg, Director of Operations, Mary
Kay Canada. "UPS My Choice
service gives the gift of convenience and allows them to take
control over their deliveries."
A recent UPS study commissioned by comScore showed that 78 per
cent of Canadian consumers want to receive a notification when
their package has been shipped1. UPS
My Choice service does this, adding
a layer of visibility into scheduled deliveries, helping to make
sure gifts and online purchases are safe and secure. Online
shoppers travelling for the holidays can also activate a vacation
setting to have packages held and delivered at a later date.
