The service also allows you to reroute packages to different locations, ideal if you need to send your package to another location that has someone available to sign. You can also reroute packages to\u00a0UPS Access Point locations in order to hold it.<\/p>\n<p>The mapping system in the\u00a0Follow My Delivery service will display the driver&#8217;s location on the map, but it won&#8217;t offer up a past or future route. It will only give you an idea how close the driver is to your home or office. Fedex hasn&#8217;t announced a similar service yet, but it&#8217;s likely that UPS&#8217;s competitor is also working on real-time tracking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Follow-My-Delivery-2a.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24410\" src=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Follow-My-Delivery-2a-1024x953.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Follow My Delivery 2a\" width=\"620\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Follow-My-Delivery-2a-1024x953.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Follow-My-Delivery-2a-300x279.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bensbargains.com\/thecheckout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Follow-My-Delivery-2a.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Integrated into the UPS My Choice service, the shipping company has added a new feature called Follow My Delivery to the service.
