DUE TO TONER-BOMB ALL UPS STORES NOW REQUIRE ID’s TO SHIP GOODS
Starting
today, shipping giant UPS is requiring customers who ship packages from
one of its retail outlets to present a government-issued photo ID.The
policy applies to all UPS and Mail Boxes Etc. locations around the
world, the company announced.The change comes with the busy holiday
shipping season in full swing, and follows the security scare in October
— when explosive materials were discovered in printer cartridges headed
for the U.S. via American cargo carriers.

UPS says if it can’t
verify a would-be customer’s identity, it won’t ship that person’s
packages.It adds that:”Valid forms of identification in the U.S. include
a current state-issued driver’s license or Department of Motor Vehicles
ID card, U.S. or foreign government-issued passport, U.S. Permanent
Resident card, U.S. military identification or a Native American Tribal
photo identification card. Qualifying documentation may vary by country
at international retail locations.”
