UPS Adds More Than 12,000 Zip Codes to Earliest Delivery Service
21 Mars 2016 - 3:00PM
- Service expands; changes name to UPS Next Day Air® Early
- Healthcare, Manufacturing, Small Business and Professional
Service firms already use the service
UPS has expanded UPS Next Day Air® Early, its earliest
small-package delivery service, by another 12,680 ZIP codes to
create an earlier guaranteed-delivery option for customers in
locations that previously had only end-of-day guarantees. The UPS
Next Day Air Early service now reaches 94% of ZIP codes and 98% of
businesses in the U.S. with the expansion.
UPS already has an advantage over the competition in serving
more ZIP codes by 8 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. than any other carrier. The
new ZIP codes are primarily in extended areas, which means
customers will receive their packages by noon or 2 p.m. UPS
expanded the guaranteed service in two phases, the first phase in
November 2015 and again this month. Saturday service is also
available to certain destinations.
“Already we’ve seen manufacturers, healthcare companies and
professional services, such as financial firms, respond to the
expansion,” said Alan Gershenhorn, executive vice president and
chief commercial officer. “Getting a package by noon or 2 p.m. has
proven to be attractive. For example, businesses use those
additional hours to process documents faster, or to turn inventory
or lab specimens around quicker.”
In the U.S, the service UPS Next Day Air® Early A.M. is renamed
UPS Next Day Air® Early to note that it is the first available
delivery. In Canada, UPS Express® Early A.M. is renamed UPS
Express® Early. UPS was the first to introduce an “early a.m.”
service in 1994.
“UPS prides itself on being first – first to deliver and first
to offer innovative services,” said Gershenhorn. “This expansion is
in response to customers’ needs for urgent and reliable
deliveries.”
“Healthcare laboratories, for example, want to receive specimens
quickly to process patients’ test results faster. Small business
and professional service providers, such as accountants, compete on
service. Those are just a few examples. We also see consumers
who need early deliveries, such as the home health patient who
needs something quickly,” Gershenhorn added.
Businesses that need international express shipments can also
take advantage of UPS’s superiority. UPS delivers to more countries
from the U.S. by 9 a.m. and before noon than any other carrier.
