Europe & U.S. End-to-End Solutions
UPS (United Parcel Service)
Founded in 1907 and headquartered in the U.S., UPS is a global leader in logistics, renowned for its last-mile delivery capabilities and reliability in the European market. It operates in over 200 countries and regions. Core services include international express shipping, FBA first-mile delivery, and supply chain management. For example, shipments from China to Europe typically arrive in 3–6 business days, while cross-border dedicated routes from the U.S. to Europe maintain a stable transit time of 4–5 days. In 2025, UPS adjusted its SurePost service, shifting some parcels to its own network to improve delivery speed.
Advantages:
1. Reliable Last-Mile Delivery: Extensive local fleet resources in Europe and the U.S., with high success rates for residential address deliveries.
2. Transparent Customs Clearance: Offers online duty estimation and document guidance to reduce cross-border friction.
3. Advanced Technical Support: The MyUPS platform supports batch operations and real-time tracking, enhancing management efficiency.
Disadvantages:
1. Single-Parcel Weight Limit: Maximum weight per package is 32 kg; overweight items require splitting, increasing handling costs.
2. Significant Price Increases: In 2025, SurePost rates rose by 10%–25%, and some services no longer accept PO Box addresses.
