Monday, September 14th, The UPS Store announced an exciting new feature.  Gone are the days when you have to travel to The UPS Store, order copies, then return later to pick them up.  From now on, their store locations will offer online printing services.

To access the program, the user simply logs onto theupsstore.com/print, uploads a new document or multiple documents, selects printing options (paper, binding, etc.) and chooses a convenient participating location for pickup as well as the desired date and time for completion. On the initial use, the first-time customer creates a profile, establishing a secure workspace and a virtual “filing cabinet” for future reprints. Each job is assigned a number, allowing the customer to track the print job from beginning to end. Payment is taken online, making pickup at the center quick and easy.

After watching the online demo video, it’s easy to see just how convenient this will be for consumers.  I’ve often visited The UPS Store only to be met with a large waiting line.  Having the ability to get quality printed products without all the fuss and added time will prompt me to use their printing services more.
