UPS unveils “largest one-time expansion of the Worldwide Express service in its history”
The UPS Worldwide Express service is being expanded to cover more than 41,000 new postal codes around the world. According to company, this is “the largest one-time expansion of the service in UPS’s history”, and it will offer “earlier time-guaranteed delivery options to customers who previously could only enjoy guaranteed end-of-day services”.
From next Monday (19 October), customers can use UPS Worldwide Express to send shipments to the new postal codes, including to more than 23,000 new postal codes in Asia Pacific markets, namely, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand and Taiwan.
“As more businesses in Asia participate in global value chains, the service expansion goes towards helping them to precisely manage the imports of manufacturing components and the exports of final products across Asia,” said Nando Cesarone, President of UPS Asia Pacific. “With the e-commerce boom in Asia, UPS Worldwide Express can also ensure that retailers are better able to satisfy their consumers in Asia.”
The majority of the new postal codes are in Asia Pacific. In Europe and Canada, UPS is further expanding its already broad coverage, while the new postal codes in Latin America, the Indian Sub-continent, the Middle East and Africa will grow UPS’s footprint in these burgeoning regions.
