Save the Day – with a Little Help from UPS

NAHB members (and their local associations) can save up to 30% of their costs on UPS shipping, based on shipping volume.

Now there's something else to save with UPS: "Save the Day" with UPS Delivery Intercept^SM

New UPS Delivery Intercept^SM leverages UPS’s advanced technology to provide companies with greater flexibility and control over shipments.

Have you ever sent a package and wished you could get it back before it was delivered? Or sent an important document to the wrong place? It happens all the time.

What is UPS Delivery Intercept?

In March, UPS launched a new service option called UPS Delivery Intercept. This service provides companies with greater control of critical packages. UPS Delivery Intercept enables the interception of a package that has already been shipped.

How does the service work?

The process is quick and simple. Customers can make the request to intercept their package at any time via their Shipping History in their UPS WorldShip^®, UPS CampusShip^®, UPS Internet Shipping system, UPS.com^® with Signature Tracking access, or by phone through 1-800-PICK-UPS^®. The interception will be made on the day of scheduled delivery.

Through UPS Delivery Intercept, companies are now able to request one of the following services prior to delivery:

The request can be tracked just like any other UPS service. The cost for this convenience is nominal, the value is immeasurable. And UPS will only bill for the service upon successful completion of the intercept request.

Now you can save the day – with a little help from UPS.
