UPS placed the order in 2016 - 14 747-8 freighters with an option for 14 more. They just exercised the option.

Gee, they coulda had all United’s old 2 pilot 747-400s. United and Boeing cut a deal that when their new -787s were delivered, they’d all go to the boneyard.

My wife got a chunk of fuselage (2”x3” size) of the first one she ever flew as a Christmas gift. Guess all the rest of the ‘lunium is beer cans by now.

In short, United Parcel Service is buying 12 747-8F freighters. In fact, watch for the possibility that FedEx may do the same very soon.
