postal codes around the world, including nearly 15,000 in Europe and
1371 post codes in the UK, creating earlier money back
guaranteed-delivery options for customers who previously had only
end-of-day money back guarantee delivery options. UPS already delivers
more packages internationally and offers more money back guaranteed
small-package delivery options than any other integrated logistics
company.
UPS
Worldwide Express service offers money back guaranteed delivery on the
next possible business day by 10:30 a.m., noon or 2:00 p.m. depending on
the destination. Individuals and companies of all sizes can use the
service, but it is particularly beneficial to those with time-sensitive
international shipments. UPS Worldwide Express service is available in
65 countries, including the UK, comprise 91 per cent of the global gross
domestic product.
Companies
in the high-tech, retail and industrial manufacturing industries are
the biggest users of UPS Worldwide Express shipping. High-tech
companies, for example, operate in a particularly fast-paced environment
with little to no downtime between product generations. UPS Worldwide
Express service gives companies like these greater ability to keep their
manufacturing and distribution processes moving at the speeds they
require.
“We
are pleased to expand the global footprint of UPS Worldwide Express in
Europe, in important trade lanes like Asia and around the world,” said
Scott Aubuchon, vice president of marketing at UPS Europe. “As
international trade continues to grow and supply chains become
increasingly global, European businesses need money back guaranteed
time-of-day delivery options they can count on. Their success, in turn,
drives their commerce with other European countries and the rest of the
world, which creates European jobs.”
Cross-border
trade is on track to increase around the world. The World Trade
Organization predicts a 3.3 per cent increase in world merchandise trade in 2015
and a 4 per cent increase in 2016.
The
majority of the new destination postal codes are in Asia Pacific. In
Europe and Canada, UPS is further expanding its already broad coverage,
while the new post codes in Latin America, the Indian Sub-continent, the
Middle East and Africa will grow UPS’s footprint in these burgeoning
regions.
The
expansion of UPS Worldwide Express service to additional postal codes
helps facilitate growth in international trade by giving customers an
even larger money back guaranteed coverage area for urgent deliveries.
The earlier delivery option offered with the UPS Worldwide Express
service allows shippers to get more things done and keep their
businesses moving. This service, along with other UPS offerings, also
supports the fast rise of cross-border e-commerce in Europe.
