UPS triples international destinations for U.S. businesses
UPS is increasing the number of destination countries that are available to its U.S. customers using the company’s Saturday pick-up solution for export shipments. 122 countries from all regions of the world have been added to the current 57 destinations, including 20 new markets in Europe, 28 in the Americas, two in Asia Pacific and 72 in the Middle East and Africa.
Businesses that schedule a Saturday pick-up for their UPS Worldwide Express portfolio packages from the U.S. to 179 international markets will have their shipments processed and shipped on Sunday and delivered as soon as Monday.
Nando Cesarone, President UPS International said: “SMEs account for 98% of all exporting companies in the U.S. But only 1% of all businesses are exporters. Just imagining the many opportunities out there for companies isn’t enough if you want to grow. Therefore we’re tripling the number of high-growth markets that companies can export to on Saturdays."
