This service will either make UPS or break them. I can't think of a more valuable service they could provide - provided it does work as promoted. I can think of many cases where I would have used this service in the past, and I'm sure I'll use it in the future. $10 is nothing if you are at risk of missing a deadline, no matter whose fault it is.
I, too, prefer UPS over FedEx - mostly because my UPS arrives at the same time every day so I can schedule around their arrival if I have a tight timeframe to meet a deadline. FedEx arrives any time between 8-6, so I can't count on the package even arriving before we close for the day. If we are closed, and I can't wait for it, they just put it on the truck for next day delivery - again sometime between 8-6. Unless it is an air shipment, I can never tell when it will really arrive.
It will be very interesting to see how this new UPS service works out. I wish them luck.
