It’s officially the holiday season, when shopping, shipping, and returning become top priorities on many to-do lists. This year, The UPS Store offers ideas to help you spend less time running errands and more time celebrating this season:

Pack and ship gifts: Be a real-life Santa by sending gifts to your loved ones. Bring your gifts to The UPS Store, and the certified packing experts available at every location will help you pack and ship, including fragile or unusually shaped items.

Protect your gifts: Exclusive to The UPS Store, the Pack & Ship Guarantee * provides reimbursement if the package is lost or damaged before arriving at its destination.

Return gifts that didn’t work out: If a gift didn’t quite work out as expected, the returns process is quick and convenient at any The UPS Store location. Many locations now offer a self-serve kiosk for online returns with participating retailer QR code or pre-labeled drop-off packages.

“Sometimes, less is more. The UPS Store is your one-stop solution for crossing off your to-dos when it comes to packing, shipping, printing, and returning this holiday season,” said Brett Battes, senior vice president of operations at The UPS Store, Inc. “We pride ourselves on helping our customers lighten their load and focus on enjoying the moments every way they holiday.”

As customers ship out their packages this holiday season, The UPS Store offers the opportunity to make a difference in their local communities by contributing to the Start Small, Grow Big program. Donations can be made for in-store credit card transactions by rounding up to the nearest dollar. In 2023, The UPS Store network collected $2.9 million customer donations for over 100 regional Junior Achievement areas. Donations will fund Junior Achievement programming which provides school-aged children with lessons in financial literacy, career readiness, and entrepreneurship.
