CHAMBER, CITY OF CENTRALIA ENCOURAGE BUSINESSES TO BECOME UPS ACCESS POINTS

The Centralia Chamber of Commerce and City of Centralia are encouraging local retail businesses to become UPS Access Points, which are convenient locations where UPS My Choice members can pick up or drop off your packages at a time and place that works best.

Benefits of becoming a UPS Access Point include increased foot traffic, free marketing to potential customers, and a competitive advantage for your retail shop.

“Becoming a UPS Access Point is essentially about turning "foot traffic" into "loyal traffic,” said Rob Jackson, Economic Director for the City of Centralia. “By solving a customer's logistical problem, you earn the opportunity to solve their shopping needs. Research shows that a significant percentage of customers who enter a store to drop off or pick up a package end up making an unplanned purchase.”

UPS Access Points must have a physical, secure, and easily accessible location to store packages, and extended hours are preferred. Approved locations receive training, technology, and support to scan and store customers packages.
