Yes, after the first delivery attempt has been made, you have the option to designate another delivery address for your package. A UPS InfoNotice® will be left by the UPS driver to indicate that a delivery attempt was made. Simply write the address you would like to have the shipment delivered to on the "Comments Line" on the front of the UPS InfoNotice.  This alternate address must be in close proximity to your address (for example, a neighbour's address).

You may also change your delivery options on ups.com. Select the Tracking tab and enter your 12-digit InfoNotice number. In the Package Progress section, select the link to Choose Another Delivery Option. You will have four options to select:
