What is UPS SurePost®?

February 7, 2022
  

 

UPS SurePost® is an economy, residential, ground service. UPS makes the shipment pick-up and the final mile delivery is typically provided by the U.S. Postal Service! That’s what makes it a cheaper option for shippers.

 

How does UPS SurePost® work?

  1. USP picks up your UPS and UPS SurePost® packages during regular pick-ups
  2. Your packages are processed within the UPS Ground service network to the UPS operation closest to the final receiver
  3. Your packages are processed in the UPS destination facility for final mile delivery
  4. Your UPS SurePost® packages are transferred to the closest USPS® center
  5. USPS® delivers your UPS SurePost® package to the receiver
