UPS is out to attract your business. If you were a DHL shipper or simply new to UPS you can take advantage of the special discounts they are offering now.
If you sign up for the UPS Switch and Save Program you will be offered as much as 24% discount.
By enrolling before January 31, 2009 you can:
- Save up to 10% on ground services
- Save up to 20% on air services
- Save up to 24% on international services (U.S. origin)
FedEx of course wants you business. They are offering you as much as 16% off. Appears to be less than UPS. However, UPS rates are usually higher than FedEx. Keep those options open.
I would recommend that you open accounts with both companies. This will give you the flexibility and coverage. Contact them directly regarding their offer and ask that the connect you with your local Sales Rep. The Sales Rep can connect you with an Account Manager.
Be prepared to answer some questions:
· Domestic Shipping
· International
· Number of packages out per month
· Description of Contents
· If you have a discount with another carrier have the last 3 months statements
Both companies offer software and website training. Your account manager can assist you or connect you with a Technical support for training.

I use UPS for my heavier USA ground shipments. I have never compared the two price wise I just choose UPS and stuck with it. Easy to use website for creating shipments & good prices.
I for one will not mourn the loss of DHL. They always put my packages in places where they’re either exposed to the elements or free to blow away completely and be returned by neighbors.
@Elizabeth M – I have had my share of horror stories with DHL as well. The major 3 have issued, but DHL had more. Thank you for stopping by
Happy New Year
Finally someone who can write a good blog ! I loved your post and will be telling others about it. Subscribing to your RSS feed now. Thanks
@Earn Money Online – Thank you so much. Your site has great tips for bloggers at all levels. I like that you are telling it like it is.
UPS is horrendous and has nothing but complete contempt for those resciving packages. I refuse to purchase from any seller who insists on UPS or won’t gurantee the use of a different shipper.
