It's 3:00 in the morning, and after pulling your hair out all night, you realize that the reason you can't get that program to run is that you need more RAM. A few seconds later you've got 4GB of memory shipping from Newegg. And then you remember that you entered your home address for shipping but you'll be at work when the box arrives.

Up until now, you had to wait until UPS put a sticker on your door saying they tried to make a delivery while you weren't home before you can deal with the problem. But now the company has rolled out UPS Intercept, a service that lets you, well, intercept packages while they're in transit.

Through the UPS Intercept page you can request:

• return to sender
• deliver to another address
• reschedule delivery
• have the package held at a UPS location for pickup

UPS will not explain to your wife why you just blew your savings on memory for your computer so that you could play Doom.
