This service enables businesses of all sizes to better compete on a global scale while getting their products faster to more destinations than ever before.”

For customers in the industrial manufacturing, automotive, high-tech, retail and healthcare segments with palletised shipments over 70 kilogrammes, UPS now offers the guaranteed, day-definite and door-to-door service in more lanes than any other carrier, and with some of the fastest transit times in the industry. For shipments originating from Asia-Pacific, delivery can be as fast as overnight to cities within Asia and just three days to Europe and the Americas.
