UPS “Free Shipping” Hoax on Twitter

We have research and found out that it is false and a hoax about UPS free shipping to Haiti for earthquake relief supplies that weight under 50lbs.  Here’s what UPS posted on their website:

“UPS is not accepting shipments from individuals or local organizations due to the logistics challenges in Haiti. Service will resume as soon as conditions allow. Shipments to Haiti made prior to the earthquake are temporarily being held at UPS facilities in Miami.”

We’re not exactly sure who’s behind such a hoax in a time like this.
