With the Corporate Retail Solutions Alternate Delivery Location program, a shipment may be directed to a designated The UPS Store® location rather than to the recipient’s primary residence or place of business. The recipient can then pick up the package at a time that is convenient.

This is an ideal solution if you have a mobile workforce or technicians that need to receive packages while they are on the road. It is also an excellent way for your customers to securely receive packages from you. This service is available to CRS clients through a contractual agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your Alternate Delivery Location (ADL) program?

The ADL program is designed for companies with a mobile workforce or technicians who need to receive packages out in the field. It provides flexibility on where to send and receive shipments and packages. A package may be directed to a designated The UPS Store location rather than to the recipient’s primary residence or place of business. The recipient can then pick up the package at a time that is convenient.

With the ADL solution, what happens if end-users don’t pick up their packages?

Packages will remain at The UPS Store for a specified amount of time. When that time has expired, the packages will be shipped back to their originating locations or pre-determined destinations.

Can customers pick up ADL packages after the account-specified time frame?

If the program has additional days available with a storage fee, then the package can be held for those additional days. If the package is not picked up by the end of those additional days, the package will be returned to its originating location or pre-determined destination. If the program does not have additional days available, the package will be returned.

Can ADL end-users have their packages re-directed to their homes?

For security purposes, customers are not able to re-direct their shipments to another address. Once delivery is directed to The UPS Store, the shipment cannot be intercepted and re-directed to a different location.

How can I become part of the ADL program?
