Fate delivered the perfect package in the form of a prime photo opportunity.

A professional photographer by the name of Donreál was shooting on location in downtown Sanford when he was asked to take a photo of a UPS employee making a delivery.

The random encounter turned into a picture perfect post that has gone viral with 453K Twitter likes, to date.


Impressed by the result, Donreál asked the internet for any leads on identifying the photogenic delivery man, so that he can send him the photo.

The photographer tweeted:

"I was doing a photoshoot in downtown Sanford when this UPS delivery man kindly interrupted and asked for a picture."
"THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE OUT THE WHOLE PHOTOSHOOT!"
"can someone find this man so he can see this."

The internet became instantly smitten with the UPS man's infectious smile and the search was on.

Who IS HE?




It almost looks like a painting.




A fellow professional chimed in with accolades.


The internet wouldn't be the internet unless they pointed out the kooky.

Some keen observers of the photo couldn't help noticing the spooky specter looming around above the truck's UPS logo.

Do you see it?



Is it even a spooky demon?


People also expressed their concern for the driver's safety after noticing what they suspected were bullet holes.





But let's get back on track.

It looks like UPS has a model employee.



Even UPS was on board with the search.

Eventually, the viral photo made its way to the delivery man's wife.

His family identified the mystery man as Jermey Watkins from Southern Pines.

His wife, LeCarya Watkins, showed up with the receipts and proudly shared a juxtaposed photo of her "bae" in his uniform and in his Sunday best.


It turns out Watkins has a voice that delivers too.

People are now envious of LeCarya.

A feel good story like this is just what we need this holiday season.




This year, UPS forecasts record-breaking holiday shipments, with return deliveries peaking at 1.4 million packages on January 2 – a 26% increase from last year's peak returns day.

Matthew O'Connor, UPS senior manager for public relations, told Transport Topics:

"We estimate UPS will deliver more than 32 million packages per day in the U.S. and around the world, an increase of more than 50% over our regular daily volume."

That's a lot of packages!

Thanks for all you do, UPS drivers. And please drive safe on all your respective routes.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
