UPS launches Mail Logic, an international mail service

Today UPS announces the launch of UPS Mail LogicSM, a new international mail service that allows customers to streamline their mail operations by relying on UPS’s package delivery expertise. With UPS Mail Logic, businesses can simply gather their international letters, flats or packets into one parcel – no sorting by destination, metering or stamping necessary. Customers arrange for UPS pick-up along with any other small packages ready for delivery. UPS then transports the international mail to well-respected postal service entities that sort and ship the mail to the destination postal authority or other licensed party for final delivery. The launch follows a successful Mail Logic pilot programme initiated in the UK in January 2005. The success of the seven month programme, which was made available to businesses of all sizes, has prompted UPS to roll out the new service first to The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and France, with additional European markets to follow.
