UPS Expands UPS Worldwide Express Service
12 Octobre 2015 - 2:00PM
- Largest one-time expansion of the service in its history
- Majority of new postal codes are in Asia Pacific
- UPS Worldwide Express service is available in 65 countries that
comprise 91% of global GDP
UPS® (NYSE:UPS) is expanding its UPS Worldwide Express®
service to more than 41,000 new postal codes around the
world, creating earlier guaranteed-delivery options for customers
that previously had only end-of-day guarantees. The company already
delivers more packages internationally and offers more guaranteed
small-package delivery options than any other integrated logistics
company.
The service is part of the UPS Express®
portfolio, which offers three guaranteed time-of-day delivery
options that include customs clearance. The UPS Express portfolio
features:
- Express Plus for early-morning delivery to 27 countries
- Express for midday delivery to 65 countries
- Express Saver for end-of-day delivery to 220 countries and
territories
Starting Oct. 19, UPS Worldwide Express service will be
available in all of the new postal codes. This is the largest
one-time expansion of the service in its history.
UPS Worldwide Express service offers guaranteed delivery on the
next possible business day by 10:30 a.m., noon or 2:00 p.m.
depending on the destination. Individuals and companies of all
sizes can use the service, but it is particularly beneficial to
those with time-sensitive international shipments. UPS Worldwide
Express service is available in 65 countries that comprise 91% of
the global gross domestic product.
“We are pleased to expand the global footprint of UPS Worldwide
Express,” said Nick Basford, vice president of international
marketing at UPS. “As international trade continues to grow and
supply chains become increasingly global, businesses need
guaranteed time-of-day delivery they can count on. Their success,
in turn, drives global commerce and creates jobs.”
Cross-border trade is on track to increase around the world. The
World Trade Organization predicts a 3.3% increase in world
merchandise trade in 2015 and a 4% increase in 2016.
The expansion of UPS Worldwide Express service to additional
postal codes helps facilitate growth in international trade by
giving customers an even larger coverage area for urgent
deliveries. The option of an earlier delivery with the UPS
Worldwide Express service allows shippers to get more things done
and keep their businesses moving. This service, along with other
UPS offerings, also supports the rise of global e-commerce.
Companies in the high-tech, retail and industrial manufacturing
industries are the biggest users of UPS Worldwide Express shipping.
High-tech companies, for example, operate in a particularly
fast-paced environment with little to no downtime between product
generations. UPS Worldwide Express service gives companies like
these greater ability to keep their manufacturing and distribution
moving at the speeds they require.
The majority of the new postal codes are in Asia Pacific. In
Europe and Canada, UPS is further expanding its already broad
coverage, while the new postal codes in Latin America, the Indian
Sub-continent, the Middle East and Africa will grow UPS’s footprint
in these burgeoning regions.
