Print discounted UPS labels without negotiating your own account. Ground, Air, and SurePost — all at commercial pricing that normally requires thousands of weekly shipments to unlock.
From overnight air to economy ground, pick the right service for each shipment. All rates include tracking, $100 declared value coverage, and full surcharge transparency.
The workhorse of UPS. Reliable day-definite delivery for packages up to 150 lbs. Best value for non-urgent shipments, especially to commercial addresses.
Guaranteed second-business-day delivery by end of day. A solid middle ground when Ground is too slow but overnight is overkill.
Overnight delivery guaranteed by 10:30 AM to most US addresses. The fastest UPS option for when it absolutely has to be there tomorrow morning.
Same next-day guarantee as Next Day Air but delivered by end of day instead of 10:30 AM. Typically 15-20% cheaper than standard Next Day Air.
Guaranteed three-business-day delivery. Slots in between Ground and 2nd Day Air pricing. Good option when you need a firm delivery date but have a few days.
UPS handles the long haul, USPS delivers the last mile. The cheapest UPS option for lightweight residential packages under 70 lbs. No guaranteed delivery date.
USPS is great for lightweight packages. But there are clear scenarios where UPS saves you money and delivers a better experience.
USPS pricing jumps steeply after 10 pounds. A 20 lb package via USPS Priority Mail can cost more than UPS Ground with commercial rates. The crossover point varies by zone, but once you are shipping anything over 15 lbs regularly, UPS Ground almost always wins on price.
UPS does not charge a residential surcharge for commercial deliveries. That saves $4.50-$6.55 per package compared to residential. If you are shipping to offices, warehouses, or retail stores, UPS is often the cheaper option regardless of weight.
USPS gives estimated delivery windows. UPS gives commitments. Ground is day-definite, Air services are time-definite. If a customer needs their package by Thursday and you need that guarantee in writing, UPS is the way to go. Missed guarantees are eligible for refunds.
UPS includes $100 in declared value coverage on every shipment. Their claims process is more straightforward than USPS, and additional coverage is easy to add. For items worth $200+, the combination of better handling, reliable tracking, and simpler claims makes UPS the safer bet.
