UPS Israel Launches Innovative Service for Convenient, Affordable Package Delivery

UPS Israel is launching an innovative service for private customers and small businesses who wish to send packages from point to point - locker or store - anywhere in the country, quickly, without a queue, and at an attractive price. The company promises delivery from one to two business days to most localities in the country.

The new service, which for the first time turns a locker into a package sending point and not just a collection point, is accessible at any time of the day and very easy to operate. A national network of 100 locker stations, in central locations, easily accessible and available 24/7, allows convenient delivery of packages without a queue. An additional 150 service stores expand the delivery options for those who prefer human contact.

The locker service, which has started operating in recent days, is essentially an extension of a service that has so far been mainly used by businesses and companies, and it also provides a solution for businesses that send individual packages and do not want to commit to a monthly quantity of shipments or a minimum number of shipments for ordering collection from the business.

How does it work? For example, if a person living in Ashkelon wants to send a package to a friend in Herzliya, all he has to do is fill in the shipping details on the UPS website, print and attach the form to the package. After choosing a locker near his home, he will receive a message with a code to open the locker, and within 2-3 business days the package will already be on its way to the friend. Without wasting travel time, without standing in traffic jams, searching and paying for parking, or using an expensive and cumbersome delivery service.

Using lockers also ensures automatic and efficient tracking of the shipment. Every customer, private or business, who deposits a package in a locker, immediately receives confirmation of the deposit in a message. From the moment the UPS courier collects the package, the sender will receive feedback on the package's route until it is collected by the recipient.

Omri Manzur, Head of Collection and Distribution Points, UPS Israel Franchisee: "We have used the locker system that is already familiar to everyone in Israel, and turned them into accessible and simple delivery and collection stations, available at any time of the day, without a queue and at an attractive price. The service opens a door to the transfer of items and documents from person to person at a completely different level of convenience and cost from what is accepted today - anyone who wants to transfer something to someone else somewhere in the country - to family, friends, return to the store, documents to the lawyer and more and more - will be able to do so easily and conveniently, quickly, and at a price that is worth every soul."
