what is ups surepost

UPS SurePost is an economy, residential-bound ground service designed for small, lightweight business-to-consumer (B2C) parcels. It is a hybrid shipping service that combines the consistency and reliability of UPS Ground with final delivery typically provided by the U.S. Postal Service. The service is ideal for any business in need of reliable, economic, direct-to-consumer shipments. The total dimensions of packages cannot exceed 130 inches if you select SurePost, and the weight limit is 1 lb or greater. The service is cost-effective and is suitable for non-urgent deliveries. UPS SurePost is not for every business, and it is best for businesses that ship a large number of packages every week, have increasing last-mile delivery costs, or have shipments that are not urgent. The service affords significant logistic savings over UPS ground services by eliminating some standard accessorial fees. Typically, UPS SurePost takes one or two days longer than UPS Ground shipping, and the deliveries are covered up to $100 up to the point of transfer to USPS for the final mile delivery.
