06 Novembre 2019 - 3:00PM
- Predictable nationwide flat rates that are simple, fast and
transparent
- Customers use their own packaging that fits their products and
brand
- Five rate options based on package size for greater
convenience
- Customers can ship UPS® Simple Rate packages by UPS 2nd Day
Air®, UPS 3 Day Select® and UPS® Ground services
Small business owners manage many uncertainties, but now the
final cost of shipping doesn’t have to be one of them. Just in time
for the holiday shipping rush, UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced UPS
Simple Rate, a predictable flat rate1 shipping option designed to
help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) streamline and
simplify their outbound processes.
“UPS responds to our customers’ need for more convenience,
choice and control,” said Kevin Warren, chief marketing officer at
UPS. “Simple Rate helps small businesses take the guesswork out of
shipping by providing simple, fast and transparent flat rates
nationwide with guaranteed on-time delivery and no special
packaging required.”
UPS Simple Rate enables SMBs to ship by UPS 2nd Day Air®, UPS 3
Day Select® and UPS® Ground services to anywhere in the U.S. for a
flat rate. It offers larger size options than what is in the
marketplace today and customers do not need to enter package weight
and dimensions or look up shipping zones when using UPS Simple
Rate. SMBs can accurately predict their shipping costs and
bill their customers without incurring unexpected fees.
With UPS Simple Rate, SMBs and consumers can also use their own
boxes and packaging sized to fit their products and enhance the
brand experience. Shippers needing greater flexibility in box sizes
and options can buy boxes at The UPS Store® locations or other
retail outlets. UPS Customer Technology Program (CTP) customers can
order UPS Simple Rate branded boxes2 through the CTP program
site.
UPS customers will continue to enjoy fast transit times,
guaranteed delivery, convenient pickup options and more than 50,000
drop-off locations offered by UPS. UPS Simple Rate is
available in the U.S. 50 states, with separate rates for Alaska and
Hawaii. The rates are backed by UPS’s service guarantee,
reliability and tracking.
UPS Simple Rate is available to account and non-UPS account
holders through UPS.com/simplerate. No registration or enrollment
is required.
Customers can ship their UPS Simple Rate packages by scheduling
a pickup, dropping it at one of UPS’s convenient drop off options
such as The UPS Store, UPS Access Point locations, Customer
Counter, Drop Box or handing it to a UPS Driver.
