If you only need to ship certain documents quickly and securely, you can take advantage of UPS Express envelope options, which work with UPS 2nd Day and Next Day Air and UPS Worldwide domestic options. All delivery dates for envelopes sent using these postal services are guaranteed, and your return time and destination will determine the exact delivery dates. The UPS website allows you to calculate the exact postage and print a shipping label for a UPS envelope, but you can also bring it to a point of sale to purchase postage. If you have a UPS shipping account, you can simply log in to purchase the envelope shipping label on the UPS website, debit it from your payment account or credit card, and then print the label. After sealing the envelope, place the shipping label in one of your UPS bags if possible, or cover the entire label with tape. You can then drop the envelope in a UPS mailbox, request a pickup, or go to an authorized shipping location. If you want to purchase shipping in person, visit a UPS store or other shipping location where UPS shipping is sold. A companion calculates the shipping costs for the chosen delivery speed, sticks the label and sends your envelope for you. UPS has a shipping page with price charts for day and retail options, but it takes work to find mail areas and search through many columns of information. The easiest way to find out how much your UPS envelope will cost for shipping is to use the shipping calculator. You can find this tool in the “Quick Start” menu on the UPS website, where you select “Offer”.
Fill out the form on the left to specify shipping to and from locations, shipping date, and destination type. Since you are shipping an envelope and not a package, turn off the UPS Single Rate option when it appears. Select “UPS Letter” as the packaging, enter the dimensions and weight, then select all the value-added services you need. Once you have selected the payment method, click “Update” to see a shipping methods table with prices and delivery dates. If you ship the envelope internationally, delivery times may vary or even be the same between different UPS Worldwide service levels. For example, shipments to Canada and Mexico may arrive in a day or two, while you usually wait at least three days for other countries. The budget option is UPS Worldwide Saver, and more expensive options include UPS Worldwide Express, Express Plus, and Expedited options. There are several types of UPS envelopes that you can order from the UPS website or pick up at a local UPS store. These include: The 2nd Day Domestic UPS option delivers before the end of the second business day.
However, you can pay more for the UPS 2nd Day Air A.M. option to have it delivered before 10:30 that day. UPS courier shipping costs vary depending on the weight, destination and fare for which you are eligible. Businesses that do not use a UPS payment account or purchase postage from a UPS location will pay the highest retail rates. On the other hand, you qualify for lower daily rates if you have regular UPS pickups, have a deal for your business, or have opened a payment account in recent years. UPS Next Day Domestic Air delivers by 10:30 a.m. the next business day. You can choose to pay more and have it delivered before 8:30 am or pay less and have it delivered later at 3:00 pm.
