The UPS Ship to Access Point service enables customers to pick up their packages from a nearby Access Point location rather than have their orders shipped to a home address. There are thousands of Access Points across the US for customers to choose from, offering them a convenient and secure delivery method that ensures they won't miss their package delivery. Customers can search for and select a UPS Access Point when they are at the online checkout.

Customers use UPS Access Points when home delivery is inconvenient or not secure enough a delivery method. In particular, UPS Access Points are ideal for customers who are likely to be at work or out-of-home when deliveries are made. As well as offering a convenient and secure delivery location, delivery to a UPS Access Point is better for the environment than home delivery. That's because deliveries can be consolidated by UPS and there are fewer missed deliveries - this all equals less time that delivery trucks spend on the roads.

UPS Access Points are businesses that can receive package deliveries from UPS on behalf of customers. There are thousands of locations across the US including The UPS Stores, CVS stores, Michaels', Advance Auto Parts, and neighborhood businesses (such as convenience stores and dry cleaners). Most locations are open 7 days a week with some even open 24/7, ensuring customers can pick up at a time convenient for them.
