- Builds on UPS’s Commitment to Help All Customers Grow and
Succeed
- Enables Customers to Refine Holiday Shipping Plans
- Modified Over-maximum, Large and Additional Handling Peak
Surcharges Announced
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today said the company will not apply additional
surcharges for U.S. residential deliveries during the busy 2019
holiday season, unless by contractual exception or for those
requiring special handling. The company once again expects to
handle a record number of holiday deliveries during peak season
2019.
“We are continuing to build momentum as our Transformation
matures and we enhance the company’s operating efficiency,” said
David Abney, UPS Chairman and CEO. “This announcement enables
UPS customers to plan now for a great holiday shopping season and
to satisfy their customers by utilizing UPS’s industry-leading
on-time delivery service, once again this year.”
During 2018 and 2019, UPS has added 20 additional 747-8 and 767
aircraft, more than 700,000 additional packages per hour of
automated sortation capacity in new Super Hubs, and updated
processing and delivery facilities. The company continues to
upgrade its air and ground capacity as part of a previously
announced capital investment plan. More than 75 percent of
eligible packages will be processed in the new automated facilities
during the 2019 holiday season, and the company forecasts attaining
100 percent of eligible volume in 2021.
UPS today announced modifications to special peak surcharges for
over-maximum, large package or additional special handling items
requiring manual processes or off-line handling. From Nov.
24, 2019 to Jan. 4, 2020, packages with unusual dimensions
requiring special handling will receive an additional handling
surcharge. From Oct. 1, 2019 to Jan. 4, 2020, packages
designated as ‘Large’ under UPS’s Tariff or packages above the
company’s small package network size and weight limits, will
receive an added surcharge.
Additional information is available at this shipping rates
page. Over-maximum shipments are recommended to be shipped
through the UPS Freight network.
UPS recently announced several new capabilities and network
enhancements planned for 2019 and 2020. UPS My Choice for
Business is a new service designed to help small businesses
attain enhanced inbound and outbound shipping visibility and attain
better control to improve planning and forecast staffing. The
company is also partnering with CVS Pharmacy, Michaels Inc. and
Advance Auto to add about 12,000 new UPS Access Point Locations by
year-end 2019. The new locations bring the total UPS Access
Point Locations to 21,000 in the U.S., providing an unrivaled
number of alternate pick-up and drop-off locations.
“We delivered a record-setting 2018 peak season in terms of both
on-time delivery performance and operations execution,” said
Abney. “We will build on the lessons learned last year and
leverage our new efficient air and ground capacity to make the 2019
peak season another success for customers, investors and other
stakeholders.”
