Learn about the IDS Smart Pickup Option
In an effort to reduce costs, IDS is exploring a Smart Pickup option for members who do not ship every day. Currently, all IDS full members receive Daily Pickup service from UPS. Smart Pickup combines the predictability of an automatic Daily Pickup with the flexibility of requesting a pickup on demand. The UPS Smart Pickup option uses innovative technology to automatically arrange a pickup only when you have packages to ship. This “green” option will help to reduce weekly service charges for libraries that do not ship everyday.
Please note that this pilot is voluntary and will not impact the delivery of packages to your library or libraries that you ship to.

Who should consider Smart Pickup?

Libraries that ship ILL packages on certain days of the week.
Libraries interested in taking a “green” approach to shipping
All IDS Full Members are encouraged to learn about this initiative.
