A 10-year-old girl got to fly a plane for the first time last week, thanks to UPS’s Wishes Delivered campaign, and she’s certain that this was her first flight of many.

Taylor Peeff is going to be a UPS pilot: She knows this, and you should, too.

Dave Smith, a UPS pilot trainer, taught her how to fly, and her mother, Cindi Peeff, sat in the back.

Dressed in her custom-made UPS pilot’s uniform, Taylor raved about how much she loved her experience. “I loved it, I loved every part of it it was fantastic!” she said.

Did you know there is a Facebook page where UPS drivers post photos of the dogs – and other furry friends – they meet on their routes?

The UPS DOGS page was created in August 2013 and is operated by UPS drivers all over the country, featuring “pictures of dogs and the UPS drivers they meet day to day,” according to the Facebook page.

Duct Tape is designed to work on metal ducts, is used frequently by the space program and was originally designed to be used on ammunition cases for the military. As seen here, it fails terribly on cardboard. This box is a return drop off and as it was waiting to be staged, the duct tape, with the help of gravity, fell right off. (We quickly remedied the issue.) You can expect similar results when using masking tape, painters tape, scotch tape etc.. Shipping tape is the only reliable choice to ensure you packages, their contents and their labels arrive as intended on the receiving end. We sell rolls and tape guns for your next round of online shopping/drop off needs.
