The company said it would “work to ensure the safety of our employees while minimizing effects on service.” It noted that “contingency plans are in place to ensure that shipments arrive at their final destinations as quickly as possible as conditions permit.”
The UPS service disruption will impact Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as portions of New Jersey and New York.
Travel bans were put in place on Monday for roads in New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut, as well as numerous other counties in New York and other Northeastern states that prevent non-emergency personnel from driving.
UPS notes that its service guarantee doesn’t apply when “transportation networks are disrupted due to events of this nature.”
