UPS adds 1,300 zip codes to early-morning delivery service
UPS has expanded its Next Day Air Early A.M. service in the United States. The guaranteed early morning delivery service has been rolled out to a further 1,300 zip code areas, the company said yesterday.
UPS said it now serves more zip codes than any other carrier in the “critical arena” of 8am deliveries.
Myron Gray, president of US operations at UPS, said that the expanded service would help more businesses gain competitive advantage in their marketplaces.
He said: “Earlier deliveries help our customers across the country meet urgent deadlines faster. This could mean a legal contract arrives in time for an early client meeting, a diabetes pump is delivered to a patient faster or a factory assembly line gets the critical part it needs to get back into operation more quickly.”
The 15-year-old Next Day Air Early A.M. service now covers more than three out of four businesses in the US.
The expansion of the Next Day Air Early A.M. service comes following a year of enhancements to the UPS global air network, which has seen a new intra-Asia air hub opened in China, express freight services expanded into Israel and Slovakia, next-day services launched from Hong Kong to Europe and a direct flight established between Guam and Hong Kong.
