Doing business globally requires connectivity, and the UPS
e-commerce strategy is robust. Whether you’re wired to the virtual world or conduct business with wireless technology, online access is easier now than ever. UPS has deployed e-commerce shipping systems worldwide and completed over 54,000 registrations for its online tools.

Open skies, falling trade barriers, and transparent borders – UPS is well positioned to further expand its reach. Its infrastructure and online accessibility have made UPS a leader in enabling global commerce.

In developing its global network, UPS took the business models and know-how developed in the United States and translated them for use in the international marketplace. In Europe, for example, UPS is the only major carrier with an integrated air and ground network. As a result, it was the first to offer a broad portfolio of common rates and services across the continent. This allows European shippers to receive guaranteed overnight delivery by 8:30 a.m. to 185 cities in Europe, or by 10:30 a.m. to 716 cities in Europe – a scope unmatched in the industry.
