UPS Triples International Destinations For U.S. Businesses With Expansion Of Saturday Export Pick-Up Service
14 Mai 2019 - 3:30PM
- Newly expanded service expands from 57 to 179 countries
worldwide
- With 95 percent of consumers located outside the U.S.,
businesses can now add an extra pick-up day to their week for
growth markets in Asia, Europe, the Americas, Middle East &
Africa
UPS (NYSE: UPS) is significantly expanding the destination
countries that are available to its U.S. customers using the
company’s Saturday pick-up solution for export shipments. An
additional 122 countries located in all regions of the world have
been added to the current 57 destinations, including 20 new markets
in Europe, 28 in the Americas, 2 in Asia Pacific and 72 in the
Middle East and Africa. Businesses that schedule a Saturday pick-up
for their UPS Worldwide Express portfolio packages from the U.S. to
179 international markets will have their shipments processed and
shipped on Sunday and delivered as soon as Monday. A list of all
the destination countries can be found here.
“We are expanding our Saturday export pick-up service to now
reach 179 markets and we think it will help inspire smaller
customers looking to chase opportunities across borders,” said
Nando Cesarone, President, UPS International. “Small and medium
businesses account for 98% of all exporting companies in the U.S.
But only 1% of all businesses in the U.S. are exporting. Just
imagining the many opportunities out there for companies isn’t
enough if you want to grow. That’s why we’re tripling the number of
high-growth international markets that growth-minded companies can
export to on a Saturday. An extra pick-up day for businesses –
especially the smaller ones – seeking to expand their customer base
is another way to show that selling across borders can be as
straightforward as shipping at home.”
The Saturday export pick-up service benefits U.S. businesses
that want to ship exports six days per week or need a rush on
weekend orders. It is part of UPS’s portfolio of Saturday ground
delivery and pick-up services for its U.S. customers, launched in
2017, which was one of the largest time-in-transit improvements in
the company’s 110-year history.
Exporting can benefit companies not only by opening doors to new
customers and partners, but also by providing additional revenue
diversification. Companies that export to multiple countries are
also nearly 8.5 percent less likely to go out of business than
companies that do not export. With 95 percent of consumers located
outside the U.S., there is a vast untapped market that is ripe for
new entrants.
UPS’s Saturday pick-up service also means a reduced chance of
online shoppers abandoning shopping carts because a faster delivery
enhances online competitiveness and builds the e-tailers’ brand
internationally. E-tailers in the U.S. looking to go cross-border
further benefit from fewer lost sales by choosing ship-from-store
options and other UPS® fulfillment solutions.
When paired with the more than 28,000 UPS Access Point®
locations worldwide, which include independently owned and operated
businesses that offer online shoppers a convenient and safe place
to pick up shipments, this service expansion significantly enhances
U.S. exporters’ ability to get packages to their customers where
and when they want them delivered.
Additionally, multiple industries with a global customer base
ranging from automotive and high-tech to healthcare stand to
benefit from this additional operating day. It enables them to add
a sixth day to ship internationally providing an opportunity to
turn inventory faster, utilize space more efficiently, and increase
productivity.
