I believe they call it UPS My Choice. Not sure if it works for all shipments, but it is free and helps with notifications and tracking.

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).

yes. it does not. but yah, it's worth doing
I was talking about a full account. Doesn't cost anything. Not sure if there's any difference from a my choice account.
I am not sure if there is any difference, but they call my account a My Choice account. I am able to prepare/pay/track shipments in the account, so it is more than just a tracker only site.

this is an example showing some packages you can redirect to a ups store or other location and some do not.
again, i've noticed the same limitations with fedex.

I pay the $19.99 annual fee for a UPS My Choice account and have it set up to automatically route any packages that are being sent to my house, to a nearby UPS Store. This doesn't change anything from the shipper's perspective as they are shipping the product to my address.
Once the package is picked up by UPS, then a request gets generated on my behalf to change the delivery destination to the UPS Store. I have this set up to happen automatically for all UPS shipments, but you could manage this manually as well.
This process has worked very well for me for a number of years now, and was put to good use during the fairly recent Z9 / Z8 service recall notices.
No, my workplace is too big (with multiple public and private companies on site).

FedEx once again lost a package in transit and found it two days later. Second time in two months. I'm not sure how they manage to do that.
UPS offered me a choice to take delivery of my new Z8 at the earliest time slot this morning for $14.99. Tempting, but I clicked and passed. They’re in the neighborhood now and the anticipation is ramping up; I’ve got Steve’s set up page open and ready to go. 
My Z7 is ready for a new home and my D850 is wondering if it should get jealous now or later. (Later… I’ve got plenty of F glass still.)

It's been well over 1.5 years since my shipment was supposed to be delivered by Fedex at my employer office. Thank goodness for security cameras ! The driver pulled into the lot went to the back of his truck and even came up the steps and returned then to his truck and left. ALL VISIBLE ON CAMERA to our front entrance. He was empty handed and tried everyway to claim he had left it at our door, myself and other employees inside at the time. Luckily the company I had ordered from didn't charge me for the lost shipment but I now drive 2 hours for the comfort of buying direct from over the counter of a good camera shop. The driver attempted to claim he had left it at the door but our video showed he didn't , FEDEX didn't offer to cover anything . Sad that you can't get service anymore.
