More Than 300 Million Packages Expected During Peak Season ATLANTA, Nov.
18, 2003 - For the second straight year, the calendar has thrown UPS
(NYSE: UPS) and a bevy of holiday shoppers and shippers a short holiday
season. But with more players on the team, including more than 3,100
newly branded The UPS Store retail locations, UPS is ready to deliver
more than 300 million packages during the holidays. Thanksgiving falls
on Nov. 27 this year, leaving just 18 delivery days during that peak"

than 2002, it still means holiday shippers can't delay too long with
their packages. And it also means UPS is taking steps to highlight
various options that make the shipping process faster, easier and more
efficient. Most customers who used to drive across town to pack and ship
their gifts can find UPS right around the corner at The UPS Store in
their neighborhood," said Rocky Romanella, vice president, UPS Retail
Services.

The 3,100 U.S. locations of The UPS Store not only provide customers
holiday convenience, but also lower UPS shipping prices." UPS is no
stranger to the retail sector. UPS synchronizes the movement of goods to
store shelves and homes for major retailers, catalogers and e-tailers
such as Best Buy, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Lands' End and
Amazon.com. Additionally, small businesses like *'Unicycle.com'
(http://www.unicycle.com)*, which nets 40 percent of its annual sales
during November and December, count on UPS to conquer the holiday crunch
just as large retailers do. UPS has been critical to our success since I
first began selling unicycles from my basement three years ago," said
John Drummond, the founder of Unicyle.com. UPS's technology is as vital
to helping us fulfill the surge of orders as the drivers are to
delivering them. In fact, it has enabled us to recently start another
online business called *'Banjo.com' (http://www.banjo.com)*."...
