UPS UAE today announced a major expansion in its service offerings that enables customers in the Emirates to benefit from two, rather than one, daily time-definite delivery options to and from the world's most active trading markets.
The expanded options will make UPS's international delivery portfolio the most expansive in the industry and will include:
• UPS Worldwide ExpressSM (guaranteed delivery by 10:30 a.m. or 12 noon, depending on destination)
• UPS Worldwide SaverSM (guaranteed delivery by end of business day)
“The new services redefine UPS’s commitment to its customers in the UAE, offering them greater flexibility and choice to excel in a competitive business environment,” said John Tansey, country manager, UPS UAE LLC. “The two delivery options will enable companies to manage their shipments to and from UAE effortlessly, with greater control and peace-of mind.”
The new UPS services that will take effect in the UAE from this month onwards will sharpen and expand delivery options on routes between the United States and Asia, Europe and the Americas, giving businesses more time-of-day delivery options in many of the world's most active trading markets.
“This latest expansion of UPS service options redefines industry standards for delivery between the U.S. and other leading economic centers around the world,” said Kurt Kuehn, UPS senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. “This change to UPS’s international portfolio, combined with our industry-leading technology, gives our importers and exporters more flexibility and greater precision to help them manage today’s just-in-time supply chain models.”
Each of the UPS Worldwide Express services will be supported by Quantum ViewSM visibility technology, which provides customers status of their shipments anywhere in the world and also sends them proactive alerts if shipments do not arrive by their committed delivery deadline due to customs holds, weather delays or for any other reason. The services also will be integrated into the newest version of UPS WorldShipTM software.
The other markets in which the new delivery options will be offered include: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom and Vatican City.
