19 July 2016 - 12:00AM
- Service now available in 117 countries and territories
- New countries include: Myanmar, Albania and Dominican
Republic
- Guaranteed delivery on the next business day by 10:30 a.m.,
noon, or 2 p.m., depending on the destination
UPS (NYSE:UPS) 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.
The UPS Worldwide Express service offers guaranteed delivery on
the next business day by 10:30 a.m., noon, or 2 p.m., 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% of the global
gross domestic product, and 96% 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.
World Trade Organization economists predict continued trade
growth this year and have even higher expectations for next year.
The UPS Worldwide Express service helps facilitate this growth by
giving customers more options for important deliveries.
The Dominican Republic has recently become a strong market for
U.S. exporters with a Free Trade Agreement between the two
countries. Adding Albania and seven additional countries in Europe
provides businesses more options and demonstrates UPS’s commitment
to facilitate growth in the region.
Myanmar, with a unique geographical position between India and
China, has benefitted from improved accessibility to the global
marketplace. Average economic growth was boosted by increased trade
and investments by more than 7% annually, as the market has the
potential to become a much larger player in the global
economy.[1]
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
