BROWN UNIFORMS? Maybe a fashion NO NO, but it's time for appreciation YES YES.

Have you bought something off of the Internet recently? Or ordered a gift for somebody through a catalog? How about Ebay? Have you been sitting at the computer clicking away and bidding on one of your favorite items? I know I love the ability to enter a website, find what I’m looking for and with just a few clicks…the item I needed (but didn’t have to time to go to the store and purchase myself) is at my doorstep in just a few days.

Just like magic!

I’m still waiting for the day when just a couple of clicks will clean my home, get my clothing ironed, and dinner cooked and on the table… you may laugh, but why would that be an impossibility? Imagine, just a click and your home is all tidied up, just like in a Mary Poppins movie…

However, I don’t think that will ever happen, at least not anytime soon. Because, we all know that inanimate objects need a middleman to move an item from one place to the other. So when your perfect package arrives promptly at your doorstep you can thank the men and women in those brown uniforms, the UPS. The UPS gives thousands of people each day the ability to connect to their friends, family and co-workers on a more personal level rather than just depending on chitchat in cyberspace.

When you’re in class or at work or home during those cold, slushy and snowy days… take a look outside your window. And I’m sure you will see the local UPS outside in that messy weather, lifting and lugging packages that they will never open. These men and women in brown wake up at the first sign of day to get to work and research who is getting what, and where their route should take them.

They know when your neighbor is getting a package from his parents in Oregon, or when the woman across the street needs them to pick up a package for her daughter in Florida. They get up early so they can schedule their day around ways to help you. Then they pack and load their trucks in a systematically sensitive way, to make sure they deliver and pick up your belongings efficiently and only ask for a signature in return.

Because of the UPS internet addicted shoppers can trust their personal shopping will be done, their loved ones will receive that perfect gift you found for them or that client will receive that proposal you have been working day and night on, with out any tribulation, all because the men and women of the UPS were there for you.
All of their hard work, long days and early hours, is brought together to make sure you get your belongings precisely and promptly when you need them.

Voltaire once said “Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” So now I’d like to ask you… What else can brown do for you?
