1) UPS provides $100.00 of FREE insurance on every package. You may purchase additional insurance for higher value items. You pay for ANY insurance at the post office, and the rate STARTS at $1.35.
2) UPS services are GUARANTEED! If the package does not arrive on time (unless weather affected the shipment), even on a ground shipment (except from 12/12 through 12/24 of any year due to the volume of air packages that in the system for the Christmas rush), you get a FULL REFUND of your shipping charges, usually within 2 weeks of filing. Try and get a refund from the post office, even for Express Mail.
3) UPS packages are trackable. The post office charges you for the "privilege" of tracking your package. There is no need to pay for certified mail and/or return receipt requested when you have UPS as the alternative. The UPS driver normally obtains a signature for shipments to commercial establishments. Even for residential deliveries, the driver has the option to require a signature or just leave the package out of sight, but the tracking system does tell you where the driver left the package.
The added value of using UPS is evident in these three benefits, so... stop by your local The UPS Store to start saving time and money for all your shipping needs!
