You made the big purchase, you entered the promo code, you got the confirmation email, but what now? As you check the site for any updates, you are probably anxious to open the box with that new outfit, book, air conditioner, new snack or other thing you have been waiting to get your hands on. It is also no secret that mail and package delivery is moving at a snail's pace these days—with so many people isolated in their homes, workers needing to practice safety standards and so many businesses closed, more and more orders are being placed online, from retailers big and small.

Furthermore, some areas of the country have become "hotspots," where COVID-19 is rapidly spreading or there is little organization, leaving delivery drivers and postal carriers in a bind, short-staffed or overwhelmed. What was supposed to be three days to get to you becomes 10, then 21, then 30 days. We get that waiting can be frustrating, especially when you really need what you ordered, or you need to ship or return something, but are scared about whether or not the branches are following safety procedures. Thanks to UPS Mobile, you do not have to worry as much. Sound too good to be true? At first, we thought so, too, so read our take on the app below.
