1. Operation process
(1) Online delivery on the UPS official website
Enter the UPS official website and select “Transportation” to register a UPS account. You can complete the online delivery of goods through the official website account. After placing an order online, the consignee will come to pick up the goods.
(2) Offline delivery
Offline freight forwarding companies and cross-border e-commerce platforms also provide UPS business agency services. Users can obtain quotations through offline channels, and the corresponding third-party agencies will provide door-to-door collection services or delivery services.
2. Status query
Sellers can check the logistics status of goods in the AliExpress backend, or log in to the UPS official website (https://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=zh_CN) for inquiries.
3. Delivery method
Users have a variety of delivery methods when using UPS, such as door-to-door collection and self-delivery. When customers use the official website online delivery method, the courier will come to pick up the goods at the agreed time. When customers place an order through a freight forwarding company or a cross-border e-commerce platform logistics system, they can directly send the goods to a designated distribution center according to the actual situation of the goods, or they can wait for the staff to pick up the goods at their doorstep.
4. Advantages and Disadvantages
Similar to the advantages and disadvantages of DHL and FedEx, UPS also has the characteristics of high timeliness and price. Take a 0.5 kg toy as an example. The toy was sent from Hangzhou, China to Leicestershire, UK. It was sent on February 22nd and is expected to arrive at the latest on the afternoon of February 27th. The minimum cost is RMB 599.4. If you want to arrive at the destination on February 25th, you need to pay at least RMB 669.9.
