Cyber Biz -- Final Draft, UPS to team for secure script delivery

September, 2000

Screenplay software venture Final Draft has inked a deal with delivery giant UPS to securely deliver scripts on the Web. Final Draft users will be able to e-mail documents and follow them using UPS' OnLine Courier Service tracking software.

Each 120-page script can be sent via e-Packages for $2.50. Customers are billed on a monthly basis. Comparably, overnight delivery and standard courier services may range from $8 to $25, depending on type of service. Once sent, the e-mailed script cannot be viewed by anyone other than the intended delivery party.

Non-Final Draft users are given the option of a free, downloadable Final Draft Viewer, allowing them to read and print a script in the format.
