UPS Offers More Air Pickup Options for Urgent Business Needs

Service Enhancements To Help 26% of U.S. Businesses

ATLANTA – UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced significant enhancements to its UPS On-Call Pickupsm service in the United States for air packages, providing customers even more options for today’s urgent business demands.

UPS has made On-Call Pickup service for air packages available for the first time in more than 4,000 ZIP codes, and air pickup times have been extended in nearly 6,000 ZIP codes. Together, the enhancements represent improved service for 26 percent of all U.S. businesses.

In addition to more on-call pickup options, there are more than 4,400 The UPS Store and Mail Boxes Etc. locations in the United States offering packaging expertise along with access to the global UPS network. Customers also can easily locate one of the roughly 40,000 UPS Drop Boxes maintained throughout the country. UPS drop boxes can be located under the “Locations” tab at www.ups.com.
