We’re introducing two ground shipping options: UPS Ground Saver and UPS Ground with Freight Pricing. We know not all your packages need to arrive fast, which is why we created these options to give you the flexibility to choose the right service for every package. These two products deliver for customers of all needs and sizes – now at a more economical price.
"UPS is on a mission to transform our customer experience through our end-to-end portfolio which offers delivery, returns and pickup services seven-days-a-week," said UPS Chief Commercial and Strategy Officer Matt Guffey. "Ground Saver and Ground with Freight pricing represent the first of many product enhancements UPS will roll out in 2025."
Meet UPS Ground Saver: Need a cost-effective way to ship less urgent packages? UPS Ground Saver has you covered. It’s a reliable and economical shipping solution that takes just a day or two longer than regular UPS Ground service. Plus, customers get a best-in-class experience and better control with the option to upgrade to faster UPS Ground service via UPS My Choice.
A game-changer for shipments over 150 pounds: UPS Ground with Freight Pricing is ideal for commercial shippers looking for small package reliability while saving money compared to traditional Less-than-Truckload (LTL) carriers. The best part? No additional costs for lift-gate, inside delivery or pallet weight – just predictable cost savings.
“UPS is the only major U.S. small package carrier that offers parcel service at LTL pricing, which is a true differentiator,” added Guffey.
More upgrades coming: But … we’re not done here. Throughout 2025, we will roll out enhancements that will put shippers and receivers in the driver’s seat, with increased control, visibility and choice.
By leveraging the strength and flexibility of our integrated, smart logistics network, we continue to offer reliability, predictability and trust across our service portfolio.
