UPS Expands Early Morning Delivery Coverage - Again
July 18 2014 - 11:30AM
For the second time in five months, UPS® (NYSE: UPS), will boost
its competitive advantage by expanding its coverage area for early
morning deliveries.
The company will add another 766 UPS Next Day Air® Early A.M.®
ZIPs beginning July 21 after adding more than 400 earlier this
year. The Early A.M. service is the earliest morning delivery from
UPS, guaranteeing service to more than 87 percent of U.S.
businesses. The move will extend UPS's advantage over the
competition in serving more ZIPs and businesses by 8 a.m. and 10:30
a.m. than any other carrier.
"For critical, time-sensitive shipments, this is one of those
services our customers rely upon," said Charles Strain, UPS vice
president, marketing. "UPS Early A.M. is experiencing strong growth
over last year, and this announcement is another example of how we
will continue to respond to our customers' needs for express
solutions."
Examples of industries that rely upon morning deliveries include
healthcare laboratories that want to receive specimens quickly to
process patients' test results faster; professional service
companies, like legal and financial firms, that depend on urgent
documents; manufacturers of parts that are needed for urgent
repairs; and high tech companies that need to repair mobile devices
rapidly so their customers don't lose connectivity.
UPS was the first to market with the service, introducing
Early A.M. in 1994. For a listing of the ZIPs, click here.
