The men and women of UPS – as well as the United States Postal Service and FedEx – do tremendous work this time of year, putting in grueling, long hours delivering gifts, and we are all grateful for their efforts. It is incumbent upon these companies, however, that when a customer is quoted a delivery date ahead of Christmas, gifts arrive on time. In a very real sense, Christmas is on the line. I call on UPS to do the right thing and provide refunds to people whose Christmases were a little less cheery as a result of their late deliveries.” Press Contact Josh Zembik – 202-224-6452 Josh_Zembik@blumenthal.senate.gov | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
