MAHWAH, NJ - UPS ANNOUNCES SHIPPING METHOD REVAMP
In a press conference today, James Kelly, Chairman and CDO of United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS) announced a restructuring of their shipping methods. Intent on following "truth in advertising" guidelines, UPS is now offering "UPS When We Feel Like It," "UPS Maybe Next Week" and "UPS Before You Die" services to replace their oft-disparaged "UPS Next Day AirŽ," "UPS 2nd Day AirŽ" and "UPS GroundŽ" services. UPS shares were up three points in early trading on speculation that they might be able to live up to these estimated shipping times.
