Clients on courier routes: If you are a client on a courier route, we are attempting to place your work on UPS or another commercial option. If a UPS or commercial option is not available, you will receive a notice that your routes have been canceled.

Clients who self-ship: If you are a client who ships on your own, please hold your shipments if you use FedEx or use UPS as an alternate shipper.

We appreciate your understanding during this time.
