When I checked UPS online, their policies have changed.
It used to be next day air was "guaranteed by 10:30AM."
now, it reads "by the end of the next day"
Early AM used to read "by 8:30AM the next day"
Now it reads: "by 10:30AM".
I even had the woman at the UPS store check their computers to confirm it.
By 10:30 is fine, but when it's hot, I dont' want my shipments sitting in a UPS truck all day.
Check with UPS - when I estimate rates on their website, it is pretty clear. They changed their guarantees.
EDIT: Apparently, this has always been. For some reason, the location I had to ship to did not qualify for the same, normal arrival times. I had to ship them early AM, as I could not chance it all day.
Nevermind...nothing to see here...
thanks for bringing that to my attention. Saves me stress.
