UPS to Deliver for L.L.Bean

UPS has been selected as the primary package delivery carrier for L.L.Bean, the 97-year-old outdoor apparel and equipment company.

The move, effective Feb. 23, follows a lengthy evaluation process. UPS will provide both ground and air service to deliver the orders of L.L.Bean customers shopping through the retailer's catalogs as well as online.

"Regardless of the channel selection used by our customers, we expect to provide a consistent quality experience and we believe UPS will deliver on that promise," said Bob Peixotto, senior vice president and COO at L.L.Bean. "UPS is providing industry-leading technologies to support our tracking and visibility needs as well as options for facilitating returns that will improve our customer experience."
