UPS with mail service
UPS with mail service
UPS expanded its portfolio of services with several acquisitions and other initiatives that will help customers manage their flow of information by mail.
These new services are an extension of UPS’s strategy to enable global commerce, while electronic forms of communication continue to grow, but physical mail will remain a fundamental component of the way business is conducted, UPS believes.
The service:
‘Hybrid mail: a blend of electronic and physical first?class mail. Letters are electronically sent to a newly acquired UPS company and then printed and inserted into the U.S. postal system nearest the final destination. Large-volume mailers that want expedited delivery of cash-critical first-class mail, such as bills and financial statements use this service.
Flats: the postal term for mail that is larger than a letter, but typically smaller than a parcel. Annual reports and prospectuses are examples. A newly acquired UPS company can expedite the delivery of qualifying flats.
UPS Presort: a daily mail pick?up service that UPS is piloting, specifically for small? and medium?sized businesses that do not typically qualify for discounts on postage costs.
The services will be offered under a new business unit headed by Randy Pulito, a former president of UPS Europe and vice president of corporate strategy.
