Heroes Don't Always Wear Capes, Sometimes They Wear UPS Uniforms

We all know that if we're expecting a delivery during the holidays, it's probably best not to hold our breath, hoping it will arrive on time. That's just how it is. The holidays are a challenging time for the postal service, and they struggle to keep up with the demand. This, of course, becomes a significant problem for all of us who are awaiting the Christmas presents we waited until the last minute to purchase. It can be a frustrating time for everyone involved.

However, we have proof that some delivery drivers are going above and beyond to ensure we receive our packages on time, no matter what!

Scroll down to see just how much effort one UPS delivery man put in to get a package up an icy driveway and deliver it to its rightful destination on time. The footage was captured by a security camera and went viral after Walt Gorczowski uploaded it to YouTube.

“I heard the UPS truck pull up, so I opened the garage and told him to just leave the package at the sidewalk, and I’d figure out a way to get it,” Gorczowski said.

“But he insisted on getting it to me. Above and beyond… this guy is awesome.”

A UPS representative said, “UPS employees are known for their dedication to serving their customers. Sometimes, as shown in this video, UPS drivers get a little creative with how they make their deliveries in challenging circumstances.”

“Between Thanksgiving and Christmas in 2019, we estimate UPS will deliver more than 32 million packages per day in the U.S. and around the world, an increase of 60% over our normal daily volume,” the representative explained.

So, how do they handle it? “We flex the UPS network with highly automated capacity, advanced operational and customer technologies, 100,000 seasonal employees, and by collaborating with our customers on strategies that match capacity to their needs throughout the holiday season.”

UPS observes Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, which means they are technically closed. However, they do offer the Express Critical service, which operates during all holidays for those of us who need something urgently delivered on those days.

Here's how people reacted to the UPS hero.
