UPS Express Critical launched
UPS launched UPS Express Critical, a service that allows customers to manifest and track urgent shipments with a single call center, one bill and one Web site.
UPS Critical allows package shippers to bill their shipments on their package account.
The new service can also offer shippers transportation combinations of planes and trucks – in one case, UPS said, an auto parts wholesale distributor in Ohio was able to take orders late into the evening and still reach dealers with shipments before normal business hours the next morning.
UPS competitor FedEx has a similar service, FedEx Custom Critical.
Urgent shipping customers can use the single-point system whether they”re using UPS SonicAir, UPS Airlines or UPS Freight.
