I LOVE this freebie!  Seriously, it may be one of my all time favorites.  Months and months ago I signed up for UPS My Choice Alerts because I thought it might come in handy every once in a while.  I am now receiving packages about once a week or at least every other week and it is so nice to know when packages are coming.  I get my UPS notice far before the company’s email telling me when it should arrive (if they send one at all).  I love this service and I really can’t believe that it’s free!

Here’s a look at the email they send:

This notice alerts you that the shipment listed below is scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Tracking Number: 1Z328976039776564
Shipper: MARY KAY INC.

Approximate Delivery Time: between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM

It’s short and sweet!  It gives me the option to change the address or to delay the shipping a few days if I’ll be out of town.  If you ever order packages, you should sign up for UPS My Choice!

This is “sponsored content” meaning that I get paid a tiny bit for everyone that signs up but I would not promote it if I didn’t use it myself.  I’ve promoted it before when I didn’t get paid a penny so you know that I honestly believe it’s a great service.

Time is money, right?  Here is a new free program from UPS to help save you time and hassle.  UPS recently released their My Choice program which allows you to receive alerts before packages arrive, digitally sign for packages, re-route your deliveries to other locations, and many other options.  How nice is that?  I hate having to be home to sign for a package!  I received a package just yesterday that I had to sign for {I’ll be reviewing it soon so you’ll hear all about it!} and I was thankful that I wasn’t busy feeding the baby when they came by or else I would have missed it!

All you need to do to get these free services is to create a UPS My Choice account.  It took me about two minutes to sign-up and I am excited about how convenient it will be with holiday purchases arriving!
