In our modern world of runaway online shopping, package safety has become a critical aspect of our daily lives! Even if you are not as concerned about package safety as the next guy, staying informed about the latest updates on deliveries headed your way can help you maximize the smiles and avoid the tears.
OK, maybe it’s impossible to avoid tears when a box full of grammar and spelling workbooks arrives, but they won’t be your tears—you’ll be happily congratulating yourself as you enjoy informative (and FREE) services from USPS and FedEx! Here are some compelling reasons to sign up for USPS Informed Delivery and FedEx Delivery Manager:
1. “Read All About It!”
USPS Informed Delivery sends digital previews of what’s coming to your mailbox. That’s right, the US Postal Service can send you daily emails that include pictures of the address side of each piece of mail scheduled for delivery, along with the latest updates on packages that are headed your way.
FedEx Delivery Manager goes a step further, giving you status updates, estimated arrival times, and the power to redirect deliveries if you’re not home. It’s like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” for your packages—do you want the driver to leave it at your front door or hide it behind your begonias?
2. “Shiver me timbers! Me booty’s been plundered!”
OK, maybe it’s a stretch to call your box of literature guides, mental math activities, and cursive copybooks booty, but you paid for them with your hard-earned money! The fight against porch pirates is real—and fierce (just check out the camera doorbell videos people share online for some shocking, and sometimes entertaining, proof)! Knowledge is your best weapon. By overcoming delivery ignorance, you’ll have the best chance of foiling those scallywags, leaving them to walk the planks of your front porch in dejected failure!
3. “Drum roll, please!”
Every package is alive with anticipation. You can physically feel the anticipation grow as the progress updates and your package gets closer and closer to delivery. Your student may not be as excited about the arrival of the physical geography workbook as you are about that Wingspan game you ordered for date night—but who doesn’t love a countdown? You can build excitement ahead of the curriculum arriving by encouraging the anticipation of owning and working in a brand-new workbook.
4. “Mi casa es…mi casa!”
Maybe you’re a control freak, or maybe you prefer to call yourself the “household customs officer.” Either way, USPS Informed Delivery and FedEx Delivery Manager will feed your need. Playing delivery roulette with packages big or small, critical or frivolous is a thing of the past. Details are delivered right to your inbox—and await your management skills.
5. “Shoulda seen that coming!”
Well, with Delivery Manager and Informed Delivery, you would have! How often do you trek out to the mailbox, anticipating that today is the day? I mean, how many times have you pulled out your left hand and counted on your fingers: “Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday—that should definitely be delivered by now!” These free information services can give you the heads-up you desperately need to join the ranks of the top informed consumers. Notifications of both on-time deliveries and delays are right there with a tap on your email app—because weather or other delays could impact your package progress anywhere along its route.
In summary, you and your packages deserve better! These services help you keep tabs on those incoming packages so you can hide the gifts and keep your school schedule humming. This knowledge is surprisingly empowering. Take charge of your deliveries, safeguard your stuff, and build anticipation for every Rainbow Resource Center order!
