About UPS courier services

UPS employs half a million people and delivers 24 million packages a day, generating $84 billion in annual revenue. It invests continually in technology, and its size and weight restrictions keep non-conveyable freight to a minimum, supporting a lean, efficient operation that processes 416,000 packages an hour through its main Kentucky hub. UPS offers high levels of on-time delivery and is one of our most trusted delivery partners.

How UPS collection and delivery works

UPS collection, prices and surcharges

UPS next-day collection is free, with 1 collection attempt. If you miss it, next-day rebooking is free, though same-day rebooking incurs a charge. If your parcel is within Access Point size and weight limits, you can drop it at a local UPS Access Point instead.

Learn more about collection & delivery

Your quoted price includes all applicable surcharges. Parcels exceeding 300cm length plus girth incur UPS surcharges, so keep under this size where you can.

Prohibited items

UPS ships personal effects such as clothing, shoes and electronics, but many items can't be sent, some less obvious than others, so always check the prohibited list before shipping. Some countries also restrict particular items, so verify with the local customs authority if you're sending anything unusual.

Parcelhero has a global prohibited items list covering all carriers. The following items are top 5 prohibited items by UPS.

Why choose UPS

UPS offer extremely fast delivery, their USA, EU and Far East services in particular offer exceptional transit times. The UPS Economy Standard and Expedited service offer much cheaper rates with transit times that are generally only 1-2 days longer than express. Whilst UPS is quite strict about the commodities they carry, along with the max size and weight, as long as your shipment falls within their parameters, UPS services offer high reliability and great value for money.
