UPS Issues Explanation on Service to Judea and Samaria
Full Text;
United Parcel Service (UPS) has claimed that information that it refuses to deliver to Jews in Judea and Samaria is not correct. In a letter to Dr. Alan Lerner of the Independent Media Review and Analysis (IMRA), UPS executive Ilan Nagar said that the company provides service to all Israelis except for “remote areas…where it would be cost prohibitive to provide service.”
He pointed out that residents of Gush Etzion do not have to travel to Jerusalem to pick up packages sent via UPS. However, Nagar also wrote, “UPS’s service reaches over 80% of the population and covers approximately 60% of the territory.” The policy leaves 20 per cent of the population without service. One resident in a community in the southern Hevron Hills, less than 25 minutes from Arad, said he was told by UPS he had to go Be’er Sheva to pick up a package.
