UPS track package

How do I get UPS track package capability?

UPS is a major international courier which is based in the United States and has been operational for over 100 years. It employs some half a million people, mostly in the US, and is trusted by millions of individuals and businesses every year to deliver parcels worldwide. The ability to get UPS track package capability is nothing new, however, more recently there has been a number of changes in the shipping world that have left customers wondering what the best way to track a UPS package is. These two changes are listed below:

• International shipping expansion: The growth in demand for international shipping meant that couriers and logistics companies have had to work together in order to offer their customers global delivery options. This means that multiple actors are involved in the delivery of a parcel even though the package is officially the responsibility of the person with who the delivery service is purchased (in this case, UPS). UPS will likely handle all domestic postage which is traveling within the United States, however, if someone is posting a parcel internationally, a third-party logistics company will usually be involved in the transportation of the parcel to its destination country and a local courier will be in charge of last-mile delivery in that country (where UPS may not have the capacity to deliver). Therefore, ensuring you have UPS track package capability when multiple carriers are involved in the process will require customers to track using a multicarrier tracking platform, such as Ship Resolve. Ship Resolve doesn’t just deliver tracking information on UPS parcels, in fact, it delivers tracking on over 1,000 couriers, logistics companies, e-tailers, and more, meaning you have the best chance of getting up to date with your UPS tracking information with Ship Resolve. Ship Resolve tracks all major couriers, including DHL, GEODIS, USPS, China Post, TNT, and more.
• Tracking specialists being chosen over direct tracking: As the need for a specialist, multicarrier tracking sites has grown, many have made the decision to use a single tracking site for all their tracking needs. That’s why millions now head straight to Ship Resolve for their tracking needs.

Can I get UPS track package information on a Sunday?

Although you can get tracking information 24 hours a day and 7 days a week with Ship Resolve, UPS does not currently deliver on Sundays in most areas, and therefore you will be unlikely to get UPS track package notifications on a Sunday. You may, however, get notifications to say that your parcel is in transit and being transferred from one place to another, but not usually for delivery to the destination address. If your parcel is being sent overseas (outside of the US), then the local courier who is in charge of the last leg of the delivery process may offer Sunday delivery, however, this will depend on the courier in question.

To check on the progress of your parcel at any time and/or find out if you think it may be delivered on a certain day, check on the Ship Resolve website to get the latest UPS package tracking information.

How can I speed up my UPS track package delivery?

The speed at which your parcel takes to be delivered will depend on the following factors:

• Size: Your parcel could be shipped using various transportation methods, which may depend on its size.
• Weight: The weight can also affect the transportation method used or processing times.
• Shipping method: As well as size and weight, the transportation method used for your UPS package may mean that it takes longer to be delivered. Deliveries made by sea usually take the longest to arrive but are some of the cheapest options.
• Holidays or events: Festive seasons such as around Christmas and Chinese New Year, or during sales events such as Black Friday are some types of annual occurrences that can delay deliveries in some countries.
• Unforeseen circumstances: Crashes, shipping lane blockages, customs processing delays, and a whole range of other unforeseen circumstances can also delay time arrivals.
