The sender typically determines whether a signature is required for packages. In some instances UPS drivers may require a signature for deliveries on their route. You can authorize UPS to leave packages without signing by enrolling in UPS My Choice®. 

UPS does not deliver non-urgent shipments on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. For extremely urgent shipments, UPS Express Critical® premium service is available 365 days a year. See the Holiday Schedule for observed holidays throughout the year.

Your package can be held at The UPS Store, a UPS Customer Centre, and UPS Access Point locations. You can also instruct us to reroute your package to another address or have the driver leave it with a neighbour.
