UPS Worldwide Express service extended to 117 nations

ATLANTA, July 20, 2016

UPS, a global leader in logistics, today announced the expansion of its UPS Worldwide Express package service to reach 117 countries and territories, providing an earlier delivery option for customers to more locations.

UPS delivers more packages internationally than any other carrier, said the company.

The UPS Worldwide Express service offers guaranteed delivery on the next business day by 10:30 am, noon, or 2 pm, depending on the destination. In 2016, UPS has introduced the service to 52 additional countries and territories.

“UPS invests in capabilities to expand our connections to global markets to help our customers. This service offers superior global reach for the most urgent shipments,” said Jim Barber, UPS International president. “With this latest expansion, the coverage area totals 117 countries, which comprise nearly 95 per cent of the global gross domestic product, and 96 per cent of real imports.”

Companies in the retail, high-tech, industrial manufacturing and healthcare industries, along with consumers, use the service for urgent global shipments. Businesses with products that have a short shelf life, and companies producing goods for special events requiring last minute order changes, find the speed and reliability of the service especially useful, it said.

Making the UPS Worldwide Express Service available in more countries is part of the company’s $2 billion investment in European operations through 2019 to expand destinations, improve time in transit, and increase overall capacity.

UPS Worldwide Express is part of the broader UPS Express portfolio, which offers the most international guaranteed time-of-day delivery options that include routine customs clearance.

The UPS Express portfolio features:
• UPS Express Plus for early-morning delivery to 27 countries
• UPS Express for midday delivery to 117 countries and territories
• UPS Express Saver for end-of-day delivery to 220 countries and territories - TradeArabia News Service
